QUESTION

When I open my plan or layout, a dialog appears with the following message:   

• "#272032451 - The following (default) fonts are not available on this system. Missing fonts can lead to unpredictable text sizes." How do I resolve this?

OR

I am using Chief Architect X15, Home Designer 2024, or a newer version, and would like to replace a used font with another font within my project. Is there an easy way to do this?

ANSWER

Chief Architect uses the fonts that are located in your Fonts folder on a Windows system or in the /Library/Fonts/ and ~/Library/Fonts folder locations on a Mac.

When this dialog appears, Chief Architect is unable to find a font that is being referenced in the file that you're opening. You can either choose to replace the font with another font that you do have installed using the Replace With drop-down or leave it set to "No Change" to maintain the file's association with the missing font. If you select "No Change," we recommend installing the missing font so that there are no discrepancies between saved versions of files. More information on installing fonts can be found in the linked resources:

In Chief Architect X15, Home Designer 2024, and newer versions, a used font can be replaced with another font at any time using the Replace Fonts dialog.
