Substitute fonts


You can use PANOSE font matching to access a list of fonts that can be used as substitutes for fonts used in a document but not found 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 substitute fonts without PANOSE font matching, you can accept the default substitute font, or you can choose any available font as a substitute.

You can apply the substitution temporarily or permanently.

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 and documents across platforms, because sometimes the same font is spelled differently on each platform.

To set options for font matching

Back to Top
1 Click Tools Options CorelDRAW.
2 In the left pane of the dialog box that appears, click Text.
3 Click Fonts.
4 Click PANOSE font matching.
5 In the PANOSE font matching preferences dialog box, enable one of the following options:
Text — lets you choose font substitutions for text in the document and applies default font substitutions for text styles
Text and styles — lets you choose font substitutions for text in the document and for text styles
Never show — applies default font substitutions for text in the document and for text styles

To use PANOSE font matching

Back to Top
1 Open or import a document.
If the document contains missing fonts, the Substitute missing fonts dialog box opens. This dialog box also appears when you have a document font installed, but the version of the installed font is different from the version of the document font (for example, Ariel-Normal Version 6.98 and Ariel-Normal Version 7.00).
The name of the missing font appears in the Missing font list, and the recommended substitute appears in the Substituted font list.
2 Enable the Use the PANOSE suggested match option.
3 Enable one of the following options:
Permanent — permanently replaces the missing font with the substitution. When you save and reopen the file, the new font is used.
Temporary — replaces the missing font with the substitution in the current session of the document

Show fonts in the same code page as missing font — displays only fonts that support the code page of the active document
Show all fonts — displays all available fonts you can choose from
5 Enable one of the following options:
Permanent — permanently replaces the missing font with the substitution. When you save and reopen the file, the new font is used.
Temporary — replaces the missing font with the substitution in the current session of the document

You can save font substitutions by enabling the Save this exception for future font matching check box.

You can substitute multiple missing fonts with a single font by holding down Shift and selecting the fonts in the Missing font list first.
