Adobe XD says fonts are missing when they’re not?

Adobe XD says fonts are missing when they’re not, showing an orange exclamation mark icon (screenshot 1 below).

 

Also when I left click/control click on it, the contextual menu fails to provide a "replace font" option (screenshot 2)?

 

Even though the adobe helpx page says there should be a menu item called "replace fonts" there.

 

Thankfully so far this seems like a cosmetic annoyance more than anything that’s interefering with my work.

But it’s still super annoying. 

 

Anyone else getting this, and is there a fix?

 

Thanks.

 

1. Orange circle icon with exclamstion mark, indicating missing font (shows up even though font is there).

 

2. No menu item to "replace fonts" exist? Eveen though Adobe Help Desk page says it should?

 

3. Meanwhile the font is there and seems to be working just fine.

    I'm having the same issue. I did everything suggested above, but the fonts still appear missing. They are not missing, I can use them, but the exclamation marks are still displayed.

    Not sure if this will help anyone else, but after having the same issue, but also having issues with the "Publish as Library" button disabled, I followed the accepted answer on this issue and it fixed the font issue for me too:

      Hi there,

       

      Thank you for reaching out and sorry for the trouble. It looks like you're experiencing the similar issue mentioned here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd-discussions/replace-fonts-window-disappears-replacing-fonts-not-possible-in-xd-45-1/td-p/12542764.

       

      If yes, then this is a known issue and the team is working on it. You will definitely see improvements in the future releases of XD.

      No, my issue is a little different, because I'm not getting any "Replace font" menu item showing at all. 
      Should the "Replace font" menu item always show? 
      Or does the "Replace font" menu item not show when there are no actual fonts that need to be replaced? 
      In my case XD is just showing me that a font is missing, when it's not missing and I can use it just fine, that's the problem.

      XD is showing me that something's wrong when it's not.
