InCopy 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 > Font menu in
a section marked “Missing Fonts.” By default, text formatted with missing fonts appears in pink highlighting.

If a TrueType font is installed and the document contains a Type 1 (T1) version of the same font, the font is displayed
as missing.

You can choose Type > 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.

Make missing fonts available

Do any of the following:

• Install the missing fonts on your system.

• Place the missing fonts in the Fonts folder, which is located in the InCopy application folder. Fonts in this folder

are available only to InCopy . See

Installing fonts

.

• Activate the missing fonts using a font-management application.

If you don’t have access to the missing fonts, use the Find Font command to search for and replace missing fonts.

Highlight substituted fonts in your document

If the Select Substituted Fonts preferences option is selected, text formatted with missing fonts appears in pink
highlighting so that you can easily identify text formatted with a missing font.

1

Choose Edit > Preferences > Composition (Windows®) or InCopy > Preferences > Composition (Mac OS®).

2

Select Substituted Fonts, and then click OK.

Document installed fonts

Fonts in a Document Fonts folder that is in the same location as an InCopy document are temporarily installed when
the document is opened. The Package command can generate a Document Fonts folder when you want to share your
document or move it to a different computer.

Fonts in the Document Fonts folder are not the same as fonts available from the standard operating system font
locations. They are installed when the document is opened and supersede any font of the same PostScript name.
However, they supersede only fonts within the document. Fonts installed by one document are not available to other
documents. When you close the document, the fonts that were installed for the document are uninstalled. Document
installed fonts are listed in a submenu of the Font menu.

Some Type1 fonts are not available in the document. In addition, Mac OS fonts are not available when running
InDesign in Windows.

Multiple master fonts

Multiple master fonts are customizable Type 1 fonts whose typeface characteristics are described in terms of variable
design axes, such as weight, width, style, and optical size.
