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!
Thank you for the responses. I have used your suggestion to put a separate folder of fonts on my hard drive and I've seen an improvement. ajwh, that is a great question. The names of the some of the fonts we use on a regular basis are usually the ones that cause the "popup" windows. I'm not sure how to determine which ones are the issue because the name that shows up in the popup window is not the same as the name shown in the font folder. Do you have any suggestions?
If you go to the font file in Windows then right click on "Preview" it will show you the version. For example, my basic Arial (TT) is shown as v2.40, but Arial Bold Italic (OT) is v6.98 and Arial Black OT) is v5.22
Diffrent programs and different Windows versions may install diferent font versions.....
Thank you so much. I'll be checking that out for sure!
