• Place the missing fonts in the Fonts folder, which is located in the InDesign application folder. Fonts in this folder
are available only to InDesign. For Mac OS, fonts can be installed to the Library\Application
Support\Adobe\Fonts folder. Fonts installed here can be used only by Adobe products.
• 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 InDesign > Preferences > Composition (Mac OS®).
2 Select Substituted Fonts, and then click OK.
Multiple master fonts
Multiplemaster 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.
Some multiple master fonts include an optical size axis, which lets you use a font specifically designed for optimal
readability at a particular size. Generally, the optical size for a smaller font, such as 10 point, is designed with heavier
serifs and stems, wider characters, less contrast between thick and thin lines, taller x height, and looser spacing
between letters than the optical size for a larger font, such as 72 point.
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Type (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Type (Mac OS).
2 Select Automatically Use Correct Optical Size, and click OK.
Leading
About leading
The vertical space between lines of type is called leading. Leading is measured from the baseline of one line of text
to the baseline of the line above it. Baseline is the invisible line on which most letters—that is, those without
descenders—sit.
The default auto-leading option sets the leading at 120% of the type size (for example, 12-point leading for 10-point
type). When auto-leading is in use, InDesign displays the leading value in parentheses in the Leading menu of the
Character panel.
