TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
When I did a template conversion on a really huge doc set a few years
back I discovered that you
will get the Missing Fonts message if your file contains *cross-
references* to other files that also have missing
fonts, even if that specific file itself doesn't have any missing
fonts. The book file itself can also contain font definitions in the
MIF, even though the book file doesn't use fonts itself.
In my particular case the doc set was so huge and so cross-referenced
that the missing font messages didn't go away until I had fixed all
the missing fonts in every single doc file and in the book file.
