Quick change missing font without notification dialog?

Community Beginner ,

Hello everyone! I'm having some trouble with "Manage missing fonts" after updating photoshop. I tried looking for this error but didn't see the answer anywhere:

However I just need a way to quickly change missing fonts into another one, so if there's any script for this problem please let me know. I sincerely thank you!

I believe what @Kevin Stohlmeyer is saying is that you need to replace like for like. If the source font uses specific glyphs then the replacement font must have the same glyphs available.

Hi @Gordon Cohen5285689037vro unfortunately when working with extended character fonts like the ones you mentioned you're going to have to research to find replacement fonts that can support the characters you originally used.

Again - the error is the font you are choosing as the replacement does not contain the entire character base your original font had so it cannot render certain characters so it's erroring out.

hi @Gordon Cohen5285689037vro the answer is in the error message - the missing font you are trying to replace is using extended glyphs that the font you are choosing does not have/support. What font is missing and which one are you attempting to replace with?

Hi @Kevin Stohlmeyer, thank you for your reply!

I usually work with a lot of different fonts, they are not always the same and are not defined, so I cannot mention each ones. Most are usually Korean, Chinese, Japanese characters and are paid fonts. But I just need to change all of them into one.
With the latest photoshop, I can use handly input of the font to be converted to without creating any error or message (here is the video) - I'd love if it worked same as Action.

But when using "Manage missing font", it has the error like above. So I can't figure out what the error is.

Hello, thank you Stephen_A_Marsh and kevin stohlmeyer and sorry for my late reply. So that's the problem, I got it now. I'll change the default font of the setting.
