I am getting "Document XX.fm uses unavailable fonts. To reformat the document using available fonts, click OK." How do I reformat using available fonts? Thanks!

I have the same problem. Whenever I try to save my book to a PDF, it says that one of the sections has unavailable fonts. I tried opening that section and clicking OK to reformat the document using available fonts. I then save the file, and try to save as PDF again. I keep getting the same error message. Also, I checked the fonts used in that section, and all of them are installed. So I don't know why I keep getting the unavailable fonts message. Can anyone help me?

Check your placed images, your master, your reference pages.

If nothing stands out, save as MIF, open in NotePad or other text editor, and search the resulting text file for the font name.

I tried saving as a mif, but I still didn't see any unusual fonts. I have opened and saved each section multiple times, each time saying to reformat the document with available fonts. I still can't save a PDF. Is there any way to override the settings, so that the document saves to PDF even if the fonts are unavailable?

Opening the doc will perform the substitution automatically.

Depending on your settings preferences, the font substitution will be permanent (or not) the next time you save the file
