I have just had my Mac rebuilt and am using High Sierra. I tried to copy my saved iPhoto folder (with years of photos) and the error message comes Theme Font missing. I tried to restore the theme in the Font Book to no avail?

If you can run iPhoto at all on High Sierra it must be iPhoto 9.6.1. And this version has only been available from the AppStore. Are you signed into the App Store with the same Apple ID you have been using when you first installed iPhoto? The purchases are tied to the AppleID you used when you first purchased iPhoto or accepted a preinstalled iPhoto version to your AppleID. If you have a different AppleID that you used previously, try to sign into the AppStore with that AppleID.

I am not sure what you mean by that. If you just copied an iPhoto Library in the Finder there should not be a warning about missing fonts. Have you been trying to open an iPhoto project for a book or a slideshow?
If you are trying to open an old iPhoto Book project, you are out of luck. You can no longer order books from iPhoto.
The iPhoto application contains some fonts, that are used for the themes. They are in the application bundle at
/Applications/iPhoto 9.6.1.app/Contents/Resources/Fonts/
Which font is it, that is missing, when you are running iPhoto?
I'm afraid the only way round that would be to re-install. Is iPhoto listed among your purchases on the App Store?
I looked but for some reason it's not listed. Nothing is except for Line which I bought (again) last week. All my old purchases are not listed. Can I get a copy somewhere else = I've looked at Apples pages and only updates are available.
Thanks Leonie. Actually the hard drive is having its Format changed by my usual repair shop here in Malta. I will get it back Friday and post which fonts are present and perhaps you (or someone else on here) can tell me which is missing and I can try to find it somewhere and attach. The tech guy is also going to try and find a version of 9.6.1 for me.
I saved the entire application to an Sea Gate external hard drive.
