Desigualdad de información.

I'm debugging a document and removing everything that's not required, and when I check, using the "Find/Replace Font" window, the fonts used in the document appear to be 6, but when packaging, in the "Fonts" section, it says there are 18! When I select one of the ones I don't recognize and request its location in the document, it doesn't appear in the "Find/Replace Font" window, and if it doesn't appear, it can't show me where it "supposedly" is located in the document.

 

The only font I think I could possibly add to the registered ones would be the "Basic Paragraph" font, Minion Pro, but other than that... 18 fonts.... 

 

What could be happening, and how can I sort the Fonts window, the "Packaging" window, and the "Find/Replace Font" window so that their information matches?

Thanks.

Tal cual lo indicaste, realicé el proceso según las intrucciones de tu mensaje inferior y sí, esas fuentes están incrustadas en el archivo vinculado de AI... pero... el tema es que el vínculo colocado en ID, no tiene esas fuentes en la imagen... así que supuse que estarían en una capa oculta en el archivo de AI, y así era.

 

De modo que volví a colocar el vínculo en ID, asegurandome de que la capa de texto estubiera apagada y repetí el ejercicio, pero ID sigue reportando que "ahí" están, aunque visualmente no se haya incluido esa capa, ID detecta que ese vínculo la contiene.

 

Entonces: para limpiar el reporte de fuentes fantasma, ¿hay alguna alternativa distinta a borrarlas del achivo de AI, o esa es la única?

 

Gracias.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


@e ch n

 

If font is part of the ai / PDF file - it will become "part" of the INDD file.

This may not be relevant, but I've had documents with 'phantom' fonts — most often, things like bolded versions of fonts without a BF face — that resist all efforts to search and replace and eliminate.

 

A cycle to IDML and reopen/save as INDD — the usual document purge/rebuild cycle — has helped in these cases.

Qué bueno que al parecer no es algo relevante.

 

Yo quería hacer esa limpieza para tener un documento en orden, a fin de que en el reporte no apareciera información falsa que de la impresión al cliente y al impresor de errores en el documento.

 

Ese "ciclo" de guardar/abrir/guarda/abrir..., ¿debería realizarlo de alguna forma en particualr, por un número de veces?

I'm pretty sure @e ch n is asking if this operation should be performed a few times - repeatedly - like when you have a lot of empty spaces and you're not using GREP but a "regular" Find&Change and replace 2x spaces into one - so in case there are more than 2x - you'll have to run this Find&Change multiple times.

 


Okay. Answered what I thought was being asked. But of course Find/Replace and GREP searches often have to be repeated to catch and correct all instances — such as double space to single space, without using fancy GREP variable-character wildcards.

 

It's always possible to craft a Find/Replace that will do a job in one pass, but sometimes just easier to repeat the action until all the changes are found and fixed.

 

(Assuming that's the other correct answer, here. 🙂 )
