>>"In general I have found these answers to the problems to work as described, but on occasion I have had situations where when using the Find Font window in InDesign, I have specified a replacement font or the missing one, clicked Change All, and had nothing happen. Any idea what's up with that?"
This is because the font is called for in a Paragraph or Character style sheet. InDesign CS3 has a great feature in Find Fonts: a checkbox which says Redefine Style When Changing All. Checking this box will solve your problem.
missing fonts, glyphs in PDF
As a side note to this article: sometimes fonts and glyphs are lost in PDFs. The new (spring 2008) version 4 specifications of the Ghent PDF Workgroup (GWG) have several new checks, specifically for checking font and glyph integrety in a PDF. The first 'GWG v4 compliant' preflight tools will be announced very soon. So, for missing fonts, missing glyphs, the GWG v4 specifications are a really interesting new development.
More (free) information on GWG, PDFs, compliant applications, test suites, ... on http://www.gwg.org.

How can I font exactly I am missing? When I get the message it only tells me that the font is missing and have been substituted. And also is there a way to download the missing font?
