Is there a way to change font settings in InDesign so that every existing file that uses the Roboto OTF font automatically uses the TTF font?

We previously used Roboto OTF for all of our projects, but now we need to use Roboto TTF for everything. Is there a way to have all InDesign projects use the new installed Roboto rather than have the missing font pop up each document and manually change it myself?

    As far as I can tell there isn’t any way to make InDesign save preferred substitutions for missing fonts.

    I’m afraid I have to agree with ​@Bobby Henderson  that there isn't a way to set a preferred substitute in InDesign.
