Myriad Pro Regular

[fransb0749]

Importing text from Excel-document in Indesign,  the Myriad Pro Regular is gone - looks as (Regular) - and all the text is covered pink. Nothing can be changed. Also the text in the masters is blocked.

Is the problem in Excel or in Indesign???

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by "blocked." A font highlighted in pink means you're missing the font. It's possible the font Excel was using is not the same as the one InDesign is serving up.

Thanx for answering, but the font in Excel was also Myriad Pro!

Does the Excel file come from the same computer?

If not: Just a little difference of the file name or internal font name can cause this issue.

You could place the table as unformatted table and add a cell style / table style in Indesign.

Be sure you’re signed into Creative Cloud as this happens to me and all my fonts will go missing,

Another thing to keep in mind is just because it’s got the same Font name, doesn’t mean it’s the same font.

For example, I was given a customer’s design package, which contains the font EUROSTILE – which I already had from Adobe’s Typekit.

For the life of me, I couldn’t get it to recognise the font I had already installed and all EUROSTILE fonts were “Missing”

When I converted it to the Typekit version I already had it threw everything out of the text box because as it turned out the one that was packaged (I figured) was an illegally downloaded fake.

This could be similar to your Myriad Pro problem where you may have downloaded it externally and also have the Typekit version, so two separate fonts with the same name – It’s a simple Find Font and replace with.
