Replace missing fonts with your choice, Photoshop CS6 / CC

Question

in photoshop CS6, I have some missing fonts. i would like to replace these with fonts of my choice. I have tried to use the Update missing fonts option, but this seemed to randomly change things, and it was hard to know what changed. How easy or hard is it to replace and view what font you want in its place?

Thanks

I realize this is an old post, but maybe it will still help.

Was looking for the same functionality in Photoshop as in InDesign, where upon selecting "Replace all Missing Fonts", there would be a dialog box allowing me to choose the fonts to replace to. Instead, it just arbitrarily selects "Myriad Pro", regardless.

My solve, as clunky as it is, worked OK if your whole document uses the same font for everything. E.g. a font across multiple slides of a presentation.

Using the newer filtering options in the Layer menu, select the "Filter for Type layers".
Select all the type layers with the yellow triangle warning.
Go to your Type menu and select the font you want to replace to.
You will be prompted for each layer to confirm the change, get ready to hit "OK" a lot of times.
Click on the "Filter for Type Layers" option again to restore your full menu list.

Should take care of the issue.

With that said, this is a feature request that is well overdue!
