Missing font does not appear in the project

Question

I have a project in InDesign (PC, Win11Enterprise, i7 12th gen, 32Gb Ram, Nvidia RTX4000 12Gb graphics card).

When I open it, it says there is a font missing - Avenir Oblique (I use Avenir Regular in the document).

I open [Replace fonts]

When I click [Find First], nothing happens.

When I click [More info], it shows:

Restrictions: Unknown (font is missing)

Path: Unknown (font is missing)

Character Count: 0

Style count: 0

Pages: none.

So it implies that the font is not used … so how comes it’s “missing”? I can’t, visually, find where it is so I’m stumped and I want to get rid of this annoying pop-up … but it might mean something.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Johnny

Hi ​@Kusumas,I've had this happen before. I typically close everything down, then relaunch the Creative Cloud Desktop app and check to see if the font that's showing this error is listed in Added Fonts. If it's not, I install it or refresh it. Then, I open InDesign from Creative Cloud Desktop and open the document again. Also, I don’t see an Avenir Regular through Adobe (https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/avenir). Is this a local font you have installed?
