Hi. In this video we're going to look at what happens when you open up
somebody else document and it says you're missing fonts,
is missing images as well,
but we do that in an earlier video.
I'm going to close this down.
Okay. You also notice that it goes as horrible pink color for anything that is missing.
So let's go and do that in our Tutorial.
In this video we've been sent a file by somebody,
but the fonts have come up missing fonts.
If you're following along with the exercise files,
open up "O2 Existing Work",
open up "Green at Heart Prospectus" and it says missing links,
which we did in previous videos so go check that one out.
But now we're going to deal with this one, missing fonts.
Now, this can be a super easy fix or this can be super complicated.
Super easy means it's a font that actually exists on Adobe's Typekit.
Typekit is the name that Adobe calls it's font library,
and what can happen is it can load up and it
senses you don't have that font in your machine, but it says, hey,
you found Roboto Slab Light
on Typekit and because you're a creative club member and awesome,
would you like me to download it and install it for you?
You can click "Sync Fonts" and life is good.
Where life is harder,
it's when it has no thinking here and it says I cannot find it anywhere.
So what you need to do is you need to click on this "Find Fonts".
It's going to tell you, in our case,
it's Roboto Slab Light that's missing,
and what we can do, I can click "Sync Fonts" here because it's on Typekit,
but you might not have that option, often it's not.
What you need to do is do one of two things.
You can replace it with something else,
because sometimes if you're working across Mac and PC,
say somebody's used Times New Roman.
Times New Roman is what a PC calls Times New Roman,
a Mac for some reason equals it times.
Same font, same attributes,
so you might have to go and say actually Roboto Slab,
I'm going to go into my list.
This is the list that are on my computer and find it,
it might be the provision.
You might have Roboto Pro or something slightly different,
and you can go to replace it and you keep an eye on it and
see if the font changes that might be exactly the same.
Or you might have to go through and say,
I don't have Roboto Slab I'm just going to use Arial,
and I'm going to hit "Change All",
and it's going to go through and switch out every use of Roboto for Arial and
that's a sad day because Roboto Slab is nice and Arial is not nice.
Another thing you could do is actually just ignore this. Hit "Done".
Don't care about it and it's going to go this big pink color.
I know is there.
I've got w on, off, okay,
and it goes this horrible pink outline color.
Say I'm just doing a text check.
I've sent it to somebody and they're just doing
a quick check of the text and missing the fonts.
Don't worry about it, just leave it missing.
Send it back to the person who originally owned it,
who does have the font and it'll come back to life.
If that's still not fixing your problems,
you're going to have to install the font.
You'll get a package document from your designer or whoever made this.
It'll be a ZIP file and inside of it will be,
lets have a look at an existing one.
I've got,let's have a look at our desktop and design class files.
We made this package file earlier.
Somebody might have sent you this and inside here
is a documents font and you might find, hey,
there it is then and all you need to do is double-click
it and depending on what program you're on,
I'm on a Mac, and I can just click "Install Font".
If you're on a PC, it's very similar process.
What I've done for this class is in your exercise files under missing footage,
there's one called Roboto Slab,
and here are all the fonts that we need.
In this case it's Roboto Slab Light.
If I go and install this one now,
life should be okay.
Go back in here. Sprang to life.
If you don't have that font and it hasn't been seen to you.
You're going to have to probably buy it.
Some fonts are free, lots of them aren't.
If you're going to go and buy it,
I can recommend myfonts.com.
This is where I buy my fonts.
Fonts aren't cheap, or it depends.
People would love to work into these fonts.
Say that I need a font and I need to buy this vintage one that's been made.
You can see here, this one,
he is going to cost me €27.
Bigger fonts, by that, I mean,
it has a whole lot more characters and whites,
then you're going to pay more.
But this is a good place to go buy it.
But there are plenty of other places.
Pick whichever one works for you.
I hope one of those options helps you with finding a missing font.
Let's get on with this tutorial series.
