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 choose Type from the pop‑up menu at the top of the dialog box. Then select Substituted Fonts, and then click OK.
