Re: Unavailable Font precluding updating a book



Hi Alice,

Did you also check reference pages?

If that doesn't reveal the problem, try adding (on body pages) one new 
empty table for each defined table format, and then check *those* 
paragraphs for the missing font. There is a hidden table per table tag in 
each document for use as a template when new tables are created. Missing 
fonts are sometimes found there.

If this turns out to be the problem, and assuming the tables in other 
chapters don't have this problem, just delete all table tags from this 
chapter and, if you wish, re-import table definitions from a font-clean 
chapter. Or not, since this is the front matter.

Hope this helps,

Tom Neuburger
