Replacing type 1 fonts

[DavidLaufer]

Indesign keeps hasseling me about replacing type 1 fonts, but it won't tell me which ones need to be replaced. Anyone figured out a quick way to get the type1 fonts listed for a given document?

Go to the menu Type > Find Font, and a list of all the fonts in the document will show. At this point in time InDesign will alert you right away that a font is a Type 1: you can see a note with with an alert sign beside it. Further, if you select the font in the list, in the Info section below (Click "More Info" if it isn't currently visible), the font Type is also described there.

Unbelievably, Adobe's programmers don't seem to know what a type 1 font is, and report problems on good fonts that will not be affected. At least, they should not be affected, but it that's the level of font knowledge in the progamming team it doesn't bode well.

On the font list, you see a warning mark:

Find/Replace font will help you to know how many Type 1 fonts you have in your document and the icon besides the font tells you about the problem:

I'm moving this from the font forum to the InDesign forum.

Hi David,

I hope, you can update your InDesign to the next bug-fix version that is 17.1.0.50 soon.

With it comes a fix for the functionality that will detect used Type 1 font styles.

Currently with e.g. version 17.0. it could be that the function detects entries in the document's code where old usages of Type 1 font styles are listed. Even if your current texts will not use them and none of the paragraph styles or character styles, even if unused, will need them.

Package your file. It will tell you all fonts used in the document and then you can check which are type one.
