How do I bring back the Missing Fonts window if I permanently dismissed it?

Participant ,

I think I may have accidentally permanently dismissed the missing fonts window that shows up when a file is opened up that has a font that isn't currently installed on my computer. How do I bring this window back? I have tried closing and reopening the same file with missing fonts multiple times without success in bringing the window back. It seems nice to have access to that window so I can quickly find and replace missing fonts.

Thanks in advance for any help given!

After you open the file with the missing font(s) go to Type>Resolve Missing Fonts, then you'll get the dialog

where you can uncheck Don't show on document open.

Thanks for the suggestion Ronald,

I tried it out, and unfortunately, it did not work.

I tried resetting Photoshop, and opening a different file with missing fonts multiple times, with no success...

Bummer.

Are you sure the font is not on your system?

Photoshop can have fonts outside of the Windows fonts folder.

Yeah, I'm certain they aren't.

To give you some context, I'm going through a Lynda.com Photoshop Course, with numerous projects, each having their own files to watch and practice along with. Most of the exercise files use different fonts that I must download, and each time, the missing font window fails to show up. Instead, all I see is this little icon on my layers panel:

Sorry Nathane, I have no clue what is causing this weird behavior.

You wrote you did already reset the preferences. Are you sure this was successful?

Hey there Ronald.

Resetting the preferences did not solve my problem. It did not bring back the Missing Font Window on files that are missing fonts.

Good to hear.

I suspect the reason that resetting the warning dialogs and resetting the photoshop preferences didn't work is the dialog for resolve missing fonts is controlled by Adobe Fonts (Typekit) and not directly by photoshop.
