How to turn off "Font Substitution will occur. Continue?" warning for every missing font

I'm working with files where the other person somehow had different legal old versions of CC Wild Words font, so I have to change it to my version (CCWildWords Regular) every single time that I have to do corrections.

 

Is there a way to turn off this warning? Is there a script or way to modify Photoshop settings code so it stops showing up? I know I'm changing the font, it shouldn't have to occur when I'm switching it to a different font and it's crazy that this warning doesn't have a checkbox option in settings to stop alerting it.

 

For a previous project, all the files were using the wrong font and I had to use the wrong one because this warning pops up every single time, even when it's all the same font for different textboxes.

There is no way to turn it off. Can you and this other person simply share the right font?

Hi there,

If you see a Missing Fonts message upon opening a file in one of your desktop applications, this means that the file uses fonts that you don’t currently have on your computer. If you proceed without resolving the missing fonts, a default font will be substituted in. Since this affects the appearance of the document — sometimes dramatically so — we recommend resolving the missing fonts. Please have a look at this article to know more about this: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/fonts/kb/resolve-missing-fonts.html

Regards,
Sahil

In a different case, if I'm proofreading files and have to ask the editor to ask the person to send me back the correct font files, I would at least lose 1-2 days of work. In other cases, I'm doing corrections on files and they requested the font to be changed anyways, so I just want to change the font directly without the annoying popup each time.

 

If it was an accidental click, I can always Undo or open up the document to it's previous history state.

 

I'm perplexed why Adobe doesn't have an option available somewhere in Settings to turn off this notification or have it patched in a future update. This has been an annoying thing for years.
