But you asked about setting an InDesign preference, now you're talking about a text condition. But anyway, why bother? Both are visible only in the normal screen mode. If you don't want to see those highlights, set the display to preview.

Peter S's question stands, of course, but anyway, the script call to disable highlighting of substitited fonts is

app.textPreferences.highlightSubstitutedFonts = false;

I actually tried this one also but it does not worked for me! As the highlights were made as conditional text highlight, So I ingnored this attempt!

Thanks for your response and effort @Peter Kahrel

Hi @Karthik SG , both the application and document have a textPreferences object, so you might have to set either the application’s, the document’s, or both:

app.textPreferences.highlightSubstitutedFonts = false;
app.activeDocument.textPreferences.highlightSubstitutedFonts = false;

I can't answer the question about javascript, but I have to ask why you would want to remove one of the most important warnings a user can have.

You are right but I was requested to do so!
