Using Find Font

In addition to the Find/Change commands for text, InDesign lets you make global changes for font families. This helps if you open documents that contain missing fonts.

To make changes using Find Font:

1.	Choose Type > Find Font. The Find Font dialog box appears . The Find Font dialog box lets you make global changes to the fonts in a document.
2.	Select the font that you want to change in the list. Tip The icons next to each font display the type of font and its status . The Find Font icons tell you the status and type of fonts used in the document.
3.	Use the Replace With list to choose a replacement for the selected font.
4.	Click Find First to find the first instance of the font. InDesign highlights the first place the font is used. Tip When you find the first instance, the Find First button changes to Find Next.
5.	Click one of the following options: Find Next skips that instance. Change replaces that instance. Change/Find replaces that instance and finds the next instance. Change All changes all the instances of the font.
6.	Use the More Info button to find more information, such as if the fonts can be embedded in PDF documents . The Info area of the Find Font dialog box gives you more information about the font.
7.	Use the Reveal in Finder (Mac) or Reveal in Explorer (Windows) to locate where the font is on the computer.

To replace missing fonts:

1.	Open the document. If fonts are missing, an alert box appears.
2.	Click Find Font to open the Find Font dialog box.
3.	Choose the missing font and follow the steps in the previous exercise.
