How to disable Type 1 fonts message

For the past few months every time I open a new file I get a message at the bottom of the page that says: Type 1 fonts will no longer be supported starting 2023. Your document contains 2 Type 1 fonts. The message is in a blue banner and is really beginning to annoy me. There's no "X" to close it off. Is there a way to diable it?

Hi Mike,

just tested your suggestion on my Windows 10 machine and it's working very well.

Hm. Until I open the next document with a Type-1-Font…

Uwe, you are correct. This is just a quick-fix to make the blue bar go away, and it does have to be repeated with each document.

Windows: Click the "Maximize / Restore" icon in the upper-right of the window.

On my laptop, as shown, it makes the window too big, so I drag it:

and click the Maximize/Restore button again.

No more blue bar.

I understand that this doesn't resolve the issue of the Type 1 fonts in the document, but it does get the blue bar to go away.

I have a related question: Does CC App > Preferences > Notifications have *ANYTHING* to do with it displaying or not?

No. I think that has to do with notifications which appear in the CC desktop app (for example, if you were sharing an asset with someone else).

Hi adamj23980060,

could you change screen resolution so that InDesign can show the whole message bar?

Right from the "Learn More" button there should be another one saying "Remind Me Later", in my German InDesign it's "Später erinnern" as shown here from my Windows 10 machine:

 

 

Press this button and you should see that blue bar no more for a while…

From my testing on a Macintosh, if you click Remind Me Later, it should not return. However, when I've restored my InDesign preferences, it will re-occur again. Then I must click the "Remind" message again.

Try toggling Window>Application Frame on and off—that works for me.

I don't see Application under Window in the top menu. Is this in the menu at the top?

Is your basic paragraph or character styles have type1 in the settings?

Remember, never say you can't do something in InDesign, it's always just a question of finding the right workaround to get the job done. © David Blatner

Right now I use Helvetica fonts in our documents. Right now there's no indication from management that we will change that. But I want a way to disable that from popping up everytime I open a document.
