locating font

[Bruce Boeck]

In taking a document to a printer, we got an error message indicating there
was a font the printer does not have. I've looked through the document and
can find no example of this font. Is there any way to locate which sections
use which fonts?

It could be an artifact of a previous version of that file. I can't figure
out a way to say this clearly.

For example, when I create a newsletter, I don't start from scratch. I take
the last edition, copy the file over to a new folder for the new issue. I
rename the file then go in and start changing dates, issue numbers, etc. I
often use a "fancy font" for a special announcement. I may never use that
font again but I think older versions of Pub would hang on to bits of this
old stuff.

Which version of Pub are you using?

JoAnn,

I do something similar with my newspaper. I open up last week's page as
"untitled" and make changes. Some of them go back 450+ revisions! But I
don't bother with the copy/paste stuff. Seems like a way for things to
get messed up.

Amen to that! That's why I do my newsletters the way I do. Why recreate the
wheel if all you need is a new hubcap?

I'm using Office 2003. So if I take this current version to my copy shop,
although they'll get the error message, it should print OK?

Copy the font the printer does not have and add it to the file disk, the printer can
install it, print your newsletter and remove the font.

Mary,

Technically, if the font is copyrighted, he cannot do this legally. In
practice...

Fortunately, the font police don't have the time or manpower to visit
each shop and check on each job. More stupid is the law. I have never
hesitated to install a font so I could print a job. I figure if the FP
show up, I won't answer the door.

Hey, Mike, won't be long before the font police show up, especially if it is an
Arabic font. (I couldn't resist a little political jab).

If they are producing you Pub on a copier you'll be ok. If they are going to
an imagesetter to produce plates or films you're about 95% ok. (Assuming you
have an empty character or just a return set in a missing font.)
If its a small pub, start highlighting text until your font selection goes
off.

safety net if things go awry.
