    I have some ‘font reference ghosts’ that are causing failed renders. AE is looking for some obscure font that was on a text layer many versions ago (at another prod. house no less)
    All layers referencing it have been deleted, I’m wondering if there is a “find/change” function in AE like in Illustrator or indesign.
    In the past, I’ve been frustrated by “Collect Project” collecting everything BUT typefaces… Am I missing something painfully obvious?
    Anyone familiar with this know a fix?

    Thanks

    Nope. You have to go thru all your effects manually and find the offending one with the text problem. I don’t think that a normal text layer is the problem, as AE resets them to the default font (either Arial or Myriad) if it can’t find a specific typeface). It’s more likely some effect like ParticlePlayground or Digital Anarchy’s Text Matrix are still looking for the font. References in effects are stored absolute and do not adapt automatically.
