The headline says everything.

sorry for my ignorance- what is a substituted font?

E. G. when you import some Greek text and format it with a font that doesn't have Greek characters. Usually NWP substitutes a near guess for the text and highlights it red, so you can see the font was changed.

Thanks for the clarification. I don't know how to do it. sorry

Hi -

place cursor somewhere into substituted font range and SELECT RANGE from "a" small icon at bottom of the document window...

Thanks.
I never thought of doing like that. I suppose substituted fonts have some attribute of their own, then. If so, I think a search macro could be written.

Henry.

...again -

works with all fonts, substituted or not...

HE

if indeed there is some specific attribute to the text (like being red) then you should be able to do so through find/replace...

I just had a quick look into the help file, it looks like the substituted text font can be set. you may know that already..

Nope. Substituted fonts do not have a reproducible formatting. It looks like the hilite is something NWP uses to make substituted font obvious. It is a fake hilite, in other words.
And, yep, I can select multiple substituted fonts via the character attribute tag, but then I cannot tell wherever in a document (I work with documents with up to 200,000 words, or 500 pages) hilited fonts occur.
I hoped there was a way to it through a macro, something like the "Select Next Image" statement, for example.

Hi Henry, there's currently no way to do this. As you've discovered, the "font substituted" highlighting is not a proper attribute that you can search for. So for now you'll have to visually scan your document for it. We've do have this feature request filed.

Thanks, Martin. Always neat and timely. Neat and timely as always.

Henry.
