This document contains Type 1 fonts which are no longer supported. Please replace using TypeFind/Re

Question

I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 about six months ago and upgraded the graphics card. All hardware and software show compatible. Always on current version of CC since the upgrade. All has been working fine: ID, Premiere Pro, Photophop, Audition, etc.

I recently went to edit an ID file from a few years ago. When i got done and went to copy things I got a bad font formatting on-screen and a warning across the bottom of the screen in a blue bar:

"This document contains Type 1 fonts which are no longer supported. Please replace using Type>Find/Replace Font"

There is nothing I can find that is Type 1. But since I need the file and to work with it in the future with various changes, I rebuilt it entirely from scratch so there was no chance of old fonts. I only selected fonts it gave me as choices. I drew text frames new, and pasted text I copied from the old file into a Notepad file to strip all formatting and copied and pasted that into the new document.

When I got done, after four hours, and went to copy the work to a new page, the warning came back!

I don't see any errors in on-screen formatting or Export to PDF this time but this is very concerning.

The only two font families in this new file are (showing in Find/Replace Font dialog):

Helvetica Nueve LT Str

Myriad Pro

Here's the file.

CORRECTION: Sorry, I was mistaken. I now remember that since I am on an older i7 machine and got lucky six months ago with a graphics card that works with the machine and also works with the then-current versions of all the CC apps, I disabled automatic updates and haven't updated CC or the apps since. Maybe that's the issue?? I can do an image of the machine and try to update everything and hope it's still okay with the graphics card. Should I try that? All is working flawlessly except for this font issue in ID, which, as I said, with the older file caused on-screen display corruption of some type, but the new file only gives me the warning but seems to be displaying, exporting to PDF, and printing okay so far.

Thanks so much!

Allow me to clarify that I created a brand new document. No copying of anything. Not a Save As or anything like that.

File > New > Document... etc.

I created guides in the original file for every edge of every frame, then copied them to the clipboard and did Paste in Place in the new file. The only other thing I copied from the old file was an image which is in PDF format (not sure why or if that's best? -- simple copy and Paste in Place).

All else was created in the new file from scratch.

I think I may have figured out why I was still getting that warning message.

I was working in the new file on monitor 1, and had the old file opened on monitor 2. The Tools bar, Properties panels, etc, were all on monitor 1 and remained there even when I put the focus on the old file that was on monitor 2.

I'm thinking the warning pertained to the old file on monitor 2 but appeared at the bottom of the new file on monitor 1 because monitor 1 had dominance for all controls.

So far no such warning has shown up when only the new file is opened. I'll report back if it re-appears.

Thanks!

Have you tried exporting the original file to .IDML format and reopening?
