Question

Relink old fonts to new globally

I have lots of old documents that use P22 Johnston Underground.  Adobe now call this P22 Underground.  Is there any way I can do a global relink to the new name instead of having to do it individually in every document (I have a LOT)!).

 

Mac OS14.4.1,  M1 Macbook Pro

 

Thank you!

    Hi 

    @paul-brown

    ,

     

    Thanks for reaching out. I would like to know what you mean by ' Relink to the new name'. Did you see any changes with that font after it was renamed? Did you activate the P22 underground font through the Creative Cloud Desktop app and restart the device to see if that helps?

     

    We're here to help, just need some info.

     

    Regards,

    Tarun

    Thank you, Tarun.  I solved the problem by installing an older version of the font with the original name.  The procedure you described above didn't work because the names of the old font and the new one are different.

     

    Nevertheless, it would be good to have a facility for globally mapping an old font to a new one without having to open all the files that use it individually and doing it manually which is a time-consuming and error-prone process.  This would be especially valuable when the old font is no longer available.
