We have numerous designers that work on the same files and we have a font folder that we use to make sure all our systems have the same fonts. I also work from home frequently and when I open a file that I have worked on at a different location, the missing font dialogue box opens up, even though I've picked a font and chosen to make that substitution permanent or use the Panose font option. It's is really frustrating.
I also ran into a situation after installing a CorelDraw on a new laptop I bought where text was being embedded and editing it was a nightmare. The dialogue box opened every time I need to edit any text.
My question is this: Isn't this what the font manager is for to find fonts that are either installed on the system or missing? I really could use some help with this.
Thank you!
Yes, that's exactly how FontManager works. But if it's not working with you, there must be a reason. Have you select the folder with fonts? The best way is to store all your fonts in a separate folder on your hard disk. Then, open Fon Manager and set to use this folder for search fonts (instead to search the entire disk or just the Windows/Fonts folder)
