Resolve Fonts: Unresolvable (Will be substituted with default font)

I have projects with unresolvable fonts.

When opened, I receive a Resolve Fonts error window with some info and the message, "Unresolvable (Will be substituted with default font)".

If the default font is close to the missing font in the project, I may not be able to quickly scan and see what elements have been substituted and need to be corrected. I also don't know what the default font is set to so I don't know what I'm looking for.

We have a style guide in our organization that specifies an organizational default font, Avenir. Substitutions that are close enough to miss on a quick visual scan are not close enough to pass the style guide. I need to be able to quickly find and correct font issues.

My question is three fold,

What is Premier Pro's default font?
How do I set the default font to Avenir? This seems like a simple setting to implement in a menu.
If I can't, how do I quickly locate elements that have experienced a font substitution to the default font?

Thanks in advance to all of the gurus out there who take the time to figure this stuff out.

Substituted with Default font.

2021 and I can't believe this is still an issue.

I migrated from Mac to PC and many of the fonts used in previous and active projects are not in Windows. Yes, I could copy them over from the Mac but it wouldn't be legal for many of the fonts and, as a content creator, intellectual property rights matter to me. I also can't afford to buy all of the fonts I'd need. It should be possible to set a default font and default substitution font in Premiere the way you can in Adobe Acrobat.

I would expect that there are many of us working in environments with style guides, using a fixed set of fonts, who would appreciate being able to set those in the preferences.

If you're feeling the frustration, please up-vote the feature in Adobe's feature request page.Feature Request/Bug Report Form (adobe.com) Select Adobe Premiere Pro as your app and then search Set a Default Font.

The feature to upvode is: Ability to set a default font for new text in preferences/synced settings

I hope you've been around the forum and PP recently also. 2 things. One, there is a default font now, and 2, you're using the old feature request form, it's not used any more.

If the above feature doesn't do what you need, User Voice is where the Adobe engineers look for bug reports, enhancement requests, etc. The urgency for bug reports or new features can be judged by how many of us users upvote the requests. You can search for similar requests using the search feature at the lower right. It's best to upvote a request that has some traction (votes) already, and you can upvote and reply to that thread. If you don't find one the matches your request, then enter a new one. Regardless, post a link back here so those seeing this thread can upvote also.

1. I don't know.

2. I don't believe you can.

3. I don't believe you can do it "quickly".

One technique you might use is to ensure that any system opening a project already has the necessary fonts installed before opening projects. I keep a Fonts folder on Dropbox for such reason.

Thanks for your response.

This usually is a problem with older projects that are being updated. I don't know what's in them until I try to open them. I'm usually changing some of the fonts and colors to comply with our most recent style guide, so I'd rather not have to install fonts I won't be using in the future. If it's not already installed on my system, my organization really doesn't want me using it in a project.

It does seem odd that something as personal or subjective as a default font choice isn't a setting somewhere. To have to change the font every time a new text element is created is at the very least inconvenient when having it set to the most commonly used font in a particular work environment would make sense and save time.
