Next, we need to click on the Change All button for InDesign to change all text formatted with Alien League to Adobe Caslon Pro Regular. The Font Style drop down menu was already set to Regular so I didn’t need to change that. From the Font Family drop down menu I chose Adobe Caslon Pro (highlighted in green below). Next, we need to choose the font we want to replace it with. Lets now swop Alien League to Adobe Caslon Pro Regular.įirst, it is necessary to click on Alien League to highlight it, as this is the font we want to change because it is missing (highlighted in red below). Two other fonts Adobe Caslon Pro Bold and Adobe Caslon Pro Regular exist in the document but aren’t missing. The missing font Alien League is indicated with the yellow triangle icon. Clicking on the Find Font… button opens the Find Font panel. Lets do that, and swop the font Alien League for another available font. When a problem occurs it is always best to fix it, straight away.

There could also be issues to do with the copyright and licensing of fonts that prevents the user sending them to you. Unfortunately, that doesn’t aways happen. This would then mean you would have everything to open the document without any problems. In an ideal world, the sender would package the InDesign document to ensure the fonts, InDesign document and images are together in a folder, and send you that folder.

Missing fonts means that the InDesign document was created using a font that does not exist on the computer you are trying to open it with. If you receive InDesign documents from other people then a common problem you are likely to see is missing fonts.
