Work with missing fonts

If a document uses fonts not installed on your system, an alert message appears when you open it. Illustrator indicates which fonts are missing and substitutes missing fonts with available matching fonts.

  • To substitute missing fonts with a different font, select the text that uses the missing font and apply any other available font.
  • To make missing fonts available in Illustrator, either install the missing fonts on your system or activate the missing fonts using a font management application.
  • To highlight substituted fonts in pink, choose File > Document Setup, and select Highlight Substituted Fonts (and Highlighted Substituted Glyphs, if desired), and then click OK.
