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.
Find missing fonts (Typekit workflow)
In the 2014 release of Illustrator CC, when you open an artwork file, if a missing font is detected, the Typekit library is
checked for availability of the missing font. If available on the Typekit website, you can quickly sync the fonts to your
computer, to restore the appearance of your Illustrator artwork.
For more information on how to generally work with fonts available on the Typekit website (through your Typekit
subscription), see the article on
