"unavailable fonts" – same topic, different question

Many of us will have seen the message The {font name} is not available flash past in the error log. Sometimes it's actually a true statement … often, it seems to me, it ain't! or, if not an absolute untruth, it's certainly a different world-view.

I've just been presented with this assertion again. I've checked the source file in question, identified the paragraph styles that call for the font, and there the font is in the pull-down: not greyed out, just there for selection like any other. No suspect graphics in the file, just one .jpg. What's more, if I check the .pdf font properties, there's the "unavailable" font in use; marked as "can embed font", yet.

The result – the .pdf deliverable – is as required. Not being harassed by portentous messages would, then, reduce author stress levels! Hints and tips welcome …
