Hi Dirk Becker.
May I ask what this means:
“Preferences have been applied to one or more styles and named grids.”
Preferences have been applied to one or more styles and named grids

I guess your translation is wrong: Changes were applied to styles and/or named grids.
Named grids are a concept of Japanese typography, they can also specify a font.
The "Font Usage Dialog" (original name), later "Find Fonts" or "Find/Change Fonts" reports fonts as they are used with text in the document. If you replace fonts, you'd change with local overrides. This is where it works best.
As an afterthought, in western versions the checkbox below enables that you also apply the changes to character styles and character styles. This is more complicated than you initially think, as fonts are independently specified with the two attributes "Font Family" and "Font Style" and the used font is resolved from their combination.
For example there are ways to incompletely specify only one of the attributes. Create a new character style, and use only the font style dropdown to choose "extra condensed light". You can apply the character style to text using Tahoma via the paragraph style, Tahoma (on my system) has only Regular and Bold. As the combination is not backed by an actual font file, you get a "missing font" even though it never existed.
The program behind the checkbox can only deal with cases where both family and style attribute are specified. It will fail with the lonely extra condensed italic of cstyle4, because that could also be applied in other places where it makes more sense.
So the dialog mentions that some styles were touched, better verify your entire document.
