Cross-platform issues

While InDesign files and popular graphics formats originating on a PC

can be opened on a Mac (and vice versa), fonts can still be an issue.

Windows-format TrueType fonts can be used under Macintosh OS X,

and OpenType fonts are fully cross-platform. PostScript Type 1 fonts,

however, are platform-specific. Attempting to replace a font with what

seems to be the cross-platform equivalent can easily result in a changed

appearance, or worse, text reflow.

Using a font-conversion utility to convert a PC font to a Mac font (or vice

versa) may result in a font with changed font metrics, which may result

in text reflow. Additionally, you may find that the End User License

Agreement (EULA) for the font forbids such conversions. It is strongly

recommended that you keep files on their original platform unless

you’ve determined that OpenType fonts are used throughout the job.

Managing missing fonts

When you open an InDesign file that’s missing fonts, the Missing Fonts

alert lists those fonts needed by InDesign that are not available. Note,

however, that this initial list does not reference any fonts needed by

placed graphics.

Missing Fonts Alert

When you open an InDesign le that

uses fonts currently unavailable on the

system, you’re presented with an alert

listing the missing fonts. However,

only fonts used by InDesign are listed

in this alert: fonts used in support

artwork are not listed here.

Clicking the Find Font button takes you to the Find Font dialog box, in

which all fonts required by the document itself are listed, as well as fonts

needed by placed art (indicated by an icon). Click the Find First

button to navigate to the first use of the font in the document. (The Find

Font dialog box is available at any time by choosing Type > Find Font.)

Using the Find Font feature

InDesign’s Find Font feature lists fonts

used by InDesign, as well as any fonts

used by placed graphics. Here, a font is

used by a placed Illustrator le, but is

not available on the system. (Illustrator

embeds fonts with suitable

permissions, but won’t embed fonts

that disallow embedding.)

To replace a needed font in the Find Font dialog box, select the font

name in the top window of the dialog box, and then choose a

replacement font family and style in the Replace With fields. Replacing

fonts does not, by default, change style definitions. To do that, check

the Redefine Style option. Keep in mind that replacing fonts will change

the appearance of text and possibly cause reflow. It’s preferable to use

the correct fonts originally specified by the designer, unless you have

been given permission to replace fonts. While you can designate

replacement fonts for text created in InDesign, you cannot replace fonts

in placed graphics; for that, you’ll have to open the artwork in the

originating application and make the change, resave, and update in

InDesign. Again, consult the file’s creator to obtain the correct font, or

permission to substitute an available font. When you preflight a file in

InDesign, the application checks for fonts needed by placed artwork

and reports any missing fonts. When you package a file, InDesign

gathers up all necessary fontsincluding those required by (but not

embedded in) placed artwork, provided that all required fonts are

active on the system.
