  • Missing Font

    Posted by Dave Simpson on May 24, 2012 at 5:43 pm

    I am part way through a project using a particular font. When I opened the project today AE is says the font is missing. When I open Font Book I can see it there, but AE doesn’t want to load it for some reason. It loaded it last week, but not today. I am using CS5.5 on a mac with 10.6.7.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thank You

    You may want to open font book and check if the font is bad by selecting it and going to file>validate font.

    Thanks Erik. The font checks out in Font Book, so I will continue to look for a solution.
    cheers

    Another thing you could try is to see if you can find an alternate version of the font online. Like if it’s a .otf file then maybe try a .ttf version if one exists. Or convert it with a font conversion utility.
