Substituting fonts

You can use PANOSE font matching to access a list of fonts that can be used as substitutes for fonts used in a drawing but not installed on your computer.

You can set options for font matching. You can use font matching in text only or in both text and text styles. You can also turn off font matching. When you use font matching, you can accept the default substitute font, or you can choose another font to substitute for the missing font. You can apply the substitution temporarily or permanently to the drawing.

You can build a list of exceptions to font substitutions. Exceptions override the font substitutions recommended by the PANOSE font-matching feature. A list of exceptions can be useful when you share drawings across platforms, because sometimes the same font is spelled differently on each platform.
