you open or place documents that include fonts not installed on
your system, an alert message appears, indicating which fonts are
missing. If you select text that uses a missing font, the Character
panel or Control panel indicates that this font is missing by displaying
it in brackets in the font style pop‑up menu.</p>
<p>InDesign substitutes missing fonts with
an available font. When this happens, you can select the text and
apply any other available font. Missing fonts for which others have
been substituted will appear at the top of the Type&#160;&gt;
Font menu in a section marked “Missing Fonts.” By default, text
formatted with missing fonts appears in pink highlighting.</p>
<p>If
a TrueType font is installed and the document contains a Type&#160;1&#160;(T1)
version of the same font, the font is displayed as missing.</p>
<p>You
can choose Type&#160;&gt; Find Font to find and change missing
fonts. If a missing font is part of a style, you can update the
font in that style by changing its style definition.</p>
