Question

Is there a way to substitutes fonts automatically?

Hi there,

 

I frequently need to access and modify old files that contain Type 1 fonts. I have managed to obtain the Open Type version of these fonts. However, I am wondering if there is a way to replace all of the Type 1 fonts at once without going into the Find/Replace Fonts window to replace them one by one. Ideally, I would like Illustrator to automatically recognise the Open Type version and replace the fonts when I open the file. Thank you in advance.

Those fonts often have different names. So what Illustrator offers you, is already quite efficient. Or do you have to do the same assigning in a couple of files?

Yes, I have about 200 files to update in this batch. There are more to come. Each of these files has multiple weights of the typefaces used. So it would be great if there is a way to avoid doing this manually hundreds of times.

I have the exact same issue with multiple client files that are vintage dependant, i am having to adjust every single label individully instead of just being able to tell Adobe that there is a replacement and use that over all files. Very frustrating.
