I'm working on a new project and material came from PC/InDesign. Therefore fonts used on their platform are Type 1. I use OTF on MAC, and changing all fonts manually in 150 pages is insane

Tried several scripts and none of them help. There is one that change missing fonts, but this is not best solution since i need some families to swap. And in this script still stay some of the main family replacements intouched, so there is still missing font :/.

I also try FindChangeByList but mine line didnt work out

text {findWhat:"Interstate (T1)"} {changeTo:"Interstate"} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}

Anyone have solution for this? Or script for change font when i open up new page in indesign?

I also need a script that would change the fonts in multiple files. I usually have 50 to 120 files to work at once and need to change all the fonts. I use search replace in all files, but this won't change the style definition and is time consuming as I have about 5 font families to replace.

Is there a way to script the font change? Any idea / incomplete solutions is appreciated.

Thanks

You could update the fonts/styles in one file, create a book and load all of the files you need to update into that book. Then apply the updated styles to the all the files at once.

Have you tried Type -> Find Font and then to find/change missing fonts?
