How to search for where a font is used?

I'm using FrameMaker 12 and receiving prompts that a font is not available and being replaced by another font. How can I find the instances of where this is occuring so that I can correct the problem?

    View > Pods > Fonts...

    Then click on the Replace icon.

    Yeah, that doesn't seem to be working.

    The message says the doc originally has Helvetica and has been replaced with Arial. When I do as you said, there are no pages listed for Arial font.

    It could be in a graphic imported by reference (usually EPS or maybe even SVG). FM can't touch that.

    If you really want to track this down, create a MIF of an errant file and use a text editor to see which objects use the Helvetica font.
