Solution #2: Check Out InDesign’s Font Folder It's possible you'll see that your InDesign fonts aren't missing, but sitting where you're not expecting them. Try typing ‘A-r-i-a.’ etc when you access the font drop-down menu to prompt InDesign to search the full range of options available in the menu. If you install a certain style of Arial, for example, say a Black weight, and can’t find it under the usual ‘Arial’ drop-down menu, InDesign may have categorised it as a different font family, and it may be lurking somewhere else in the menu. The first possible reason is that the font is hiding in InDesign’s menu somewhere, but not in the place you’re looking. You might have a font that’s not displaying correctly or seems to be unavailable in your drop-down menu of fonts in InDesign (accessible from the Character Formatting Controls panel at the top of the workspace).Įven though you initially seemed to install the font successfully onto your Windows or Mac system, the font might not be showing up in InDesign for a number of reasons.
