How to fix Adobe font error

When trying to upload a template to Canto that contains Adobe fonts that you have installed on your operating system get displayed as unknown you can follow the steps below to fix this issue.

  1. Start by closing InDesign.
  2. Look at the fonts installed in the operating system. If there are both TrueType font (TTF) and OpenType font (OTF) versions, delete all of one or all of the other. In other words, you want to be left with all fonts of the same type.
  3. Then run InDesign and use Type/Find & Replace Fonts to replace the TTF fonts one by one with the the equivalent font shown in the InDesign font list.
    Note: None of the replacement fonts should be showing TTF or OTF in the font name. If there are any, then not all of of the TrueType/OpenType conflicts have been resolved.
  4. At this point no fonts are missing and the Preflight is successful.
  5. You can now save the document as an INDD file and then upload it to Canto.
