Are these missing Fonts going to pose a problem?

[gsrgo2fass]

I am editing a brochure for my girlfriend. When I open the document in Quark it gives me this message:

"Brochure.qxd uses fonts not installed in your system" with the option to click buttons "List Fonts" "Continue" "Cancel"

When I select "Continue" the document opens with, from what I can tell, no problems. When I select "List Fonts" the following fonts are listed:

Futura Bk Bt
Futura XBlkCn Bt
ZapfDingbats
Futura Book
Futura Md Bt

Is this a problem or shall I ignore these missing fonts? If I should be installing these fonts into my PC's directory, where can I get them and would it be possible to acquire them somewhere for free?

Thanks for your time.

If they have that {Fontname} around them, then they are missing

Those fonts are Bitstream fonts, they are not free.

http://www.fontshop.com

is the place I go to get all my fonts.

When you click continue and the document opens, go to Utilities>usage (or F13) click on the missing font, then click on Show First, this will show you where the font is used in the document.


If the font doesn't show up anywhere then it isn't used, so you can simply replace it with on that is.

Thanks for the quick reply Marcus. I found the fonts on some CD's that she had from the graphic editor who was working on the files.

Where do I place these fonts?

Start>Control Panel>Fonts.
Once window is open
File>Instal Font.
