Adobe Community Professional , Aug 18, Aug 18, That's an unusual error that I haven't heard of for a long time. Jump to latest reply. In Response To Steve Werner. So let's go and do that in our tutorial. In this video, we've been sent a file by somebody but the fonts have come up missing.

It says missing links, which we did in a previous video, so go check that one out. Now, we're going to deal with this one, missing fonts. Now, this can be a super easy fix, or this can be super complicated. Super easy means, it's a font that actually exists on Adobe's Typekit. Typekit is the name that Adobe calls it's font library. And what can happen is, it can load up, and it senses you don't have that font on your machine, but it says "Hey, I've found Roboto Slab Lite on Typekit, and because you're a Creative Cloud member, and awesome, would you like me to download it, and install it for you?

And you can click 'Sync Fonts', and life is good. Where life is harder, it's when it has no syncing here and it says, I cannot find it anywhere. So what you need to do is, you need to click on this 'Find Fonts'. It's going to tell you, in our case, it's Roboto Slab Light that's missing. And what we can do-- I can click 'Sync Fonts' here because it's on Typekit, but you might not have that option, often it's not. So what you need to do is, do one of two things. A Mac, for some reason calls it Times.

Same font, same attributes. So you might have to go and say-- actually, Roboto Slab, I'm going to go into my list. This is the list on my computer, and find it, you might just have it. It might be the Pro version, so you might have have Roboto Pro, or something slightly different. And you can go replace it, and you keep an eye on it and see if the font changes, it might be exactly the same.

And it's going to go through and switch out every use of Roboto for Arial. And that's a sad day, because Roboto Slab is nice. And Arial is not nice. Another thing you could do, is actually just ignore this, hit 'Done'. Don't care about it, and it's going to go, this pink color I know, there it is there. So I got 'W' on, off. And it goes, this kind of horrible pink outline color. Say I'm just doing a text check. I've sent it to somebody and they're just doing a quick check of the text.

They're missing their fonts, don't worry, just leave it missing. Send it back to the person who originally owned it who does have the font, and it will come back to life.

If that's still not fixing your problems you're going to have to install the font. You get a package document from your designer, or whoever made this. It will be a zip file, and inside of it will be-- let's look at an existing one I've got. So we look at our 'Desktop'. So somebody might have sent you this and inside here is the 'Document Fonts'.

You might find that he's there, and all you might need to do is double click it. And depending on what program you're on, I'm on a Mac and I can just click and install fonts.
