Q: Keynote - The font Calibri is missing. Your text might look different.

Since updating Keynote app, I keep getting the following message every time I open my presentation...even when I have made other changes:

Some changes were made to your presentation.  The font Calibri is missing. Your text might look different.

With over 100 slides, how can I find the font?  Keynote used to make the change for you and you would never see this message again.  Its so annoying. Also, why have you taken away so many of the easy functions like replacing images.  Now it takes additional steps..sure hurts productivity.

iPad, iOS 6.1.4

    Anyone noticed that when you upload a Keynote file to Dropbox, it zips the file now?  Extremely annoying!!!!

    Apple did call back today, third senior advisor, and asked for screen shots of the messages received on Keynote and Pages regarding the fonts.  Engineering requested as they continue to look at this issue.  It seems everything I do on Keynote and Pages now takes 3 times as long to do...hating it!!!!!

    I'm having the same problem in Numbers, which I've been using on my iPad for months but after the most recent update *every single time* I open any spreadsheet even tangentially associated with excel at some point in the past, even if I try changing the font. It used to complain once and then save the conversion, now it complains every time. Glad to know this is an engineering bug and not a feature. Hope they get it sorted soon, it's really bugging me!

    I use Keynote (and Numbers) every day for work. I have many presentations (and spreadsheets) and find the bugginess of the new versions pretty annoying. The added font warning dialogues, aside from the random crashes, makes switching between presentations slower.

     

    I would like to downgrade to the previous version, but I remember that when I first installed it, I was asked if I wanted to convert my documents to the newer version. There's probably no way back now.

    Have the same problem in Numbers. I did select all pages individually and changed the font to Arial but still get the same error Calibri fint missing message.

    Can anyone help why still same message even though I changed all pages?

    Calibri is likley still in the underlying metadata for the document, even if it is not actually used to format any text. Ignor it. Worse case scenario is that you missed something - easily corrected in the imported document.

    Thank you for the reply but it's very annoying happening everytime almost for every document. Any way I can make it stop?

    Use a different template, most likely. I'm guessing Calibri is included in the template the documents are originally created with. Honestly not rrying to be trite, but I transfer files between multiple applications on a regular basis, and minor transformations like this are a fact of life. My advice is to click OK and move on.

    I think the point here is that we know the font is missing, and we accept a message that tells us that, but in the old versions it only told us the first time it opened and now it tells us every time, which it never used to. There doesn't seem to be a solution to this at the moment, but sanstiger has alerted the powers that be who have passed it on to engineering.

     

    Annoying when you think you are upgrading and end up with problems that didn't exist with the earlier version.

    This might sounds funny to you guys but I'm new to this whole Apple Support Community. Just returned my Surface Pro 2/Excel and switched to iPad/Numbers. How it works if I want to make Apple hear our concerns generally about issues like this?

    Keep up the good work.  I am having the same issue.  I've gone through each slide of the presentation and I am still receiving the error.  I have a developer account, so if you need logs of the error, I can supply them.  Hopefully somebody at Apple is able to fix this!

    It appears Apple admits issues with iWorks and changes are coming.  Check out this article:

    I think I might have found a workaround for this problem, though I haven't tested it thoroughly. It appears, at least with my spreadsheets in Numbers, that if I open the file in the web-based iCloud Numbers app, then sync it back to my device the calibri warning goes away. It's worked this way with every spreadsheet I've tried it with, and the fix appears to persist in duplicate children of the original file on my iOS device. I haven't tried this with Keynote or Pages, though, but I imagine it's worth a shot.

    Apple released update for iWorks apps today but did NOT fix this issue. The iCloud option noted above will not work for larger files which is the majority of my presentations. They obviously do not monitor discussion boards....iOS 7 has really decreased my productivity and dramatically responsiveness of my devices.
