When I open a PSD and there are some missing fonts, why not tell me what those fonts are, sort of like Flash does: http://cl.ly/1w1x2V350V341a0Z2p2g

Hi Julian,

When you open a file, Photoshop will automatically tell you what fonts are missing.  Further, if the fonts are Typekit, you are given the change to download them and if no replacements can be found, you are given the option to do a global substitution.  If you do not see this feature, then your version is pretty far out of date and you should upgrade.  I want to say that we put this in about a year ago or more.  

Thanks,
David

Hi,

I am new to using photoshop. When I open a .psd file, I get the following error.

"Some text layers contains fonts that are missing.These layers will need to have the missing fonts replaced before they can be used for vector based outputs"

When I click ok, the layer is highlighted in yellow with brackets.

Pls. let me know if there is a way to identify the missing fonts.

Thanks.

We slipped this feature into the latest version of Photoshop CC. Now, when fonts are missing, the application will tell you which particular fonts are absent.

Enjoy!
