Calibri font missing message

Whenever I open a spreadsheet that I used on Numbers for iOS before updating to numbers 2.0, I now get a message saying that the don't Calibri is missing and that the spreadsheet may look different.


I tried checking every cell to see where I used Calibri and I cannot find any.


I closed the spreadsheet and reopened it and continue to get this message each time I open the file.


Any ideas as to how I can find where Calibri is used or how to get this message to stop appearing?


Is there an automatic way to convert any place it thinks is Calibri used to another font?


Thank you!

Wasted,


This also works in Pages. But it means reloading every file from MS Word and then deleting the previous files from Pages. I just reloaded my whole songbook - 250 songs. I think Apple should be ashamed. They are copying the mighty MS and releasing updates that aren't properly tested and then leaving it to punters like Wasted (above) to sort out their problems for them. These toys are supposed to save me time not waste it. If I have to upload my whole songbook again then I will go to an MS tablet/laptop and throw my ipad in the creek.

I ran into similar problems and took this as my motivation to develop "AnyFont". With this little app you are able to install all the fonts you need for your presentations on your iPhone or iPad. So when your are using Calibri in your presentation and get the error message after importing it on your iPad you can use AnyFont to install Calibri on your device which makes the error message go away and lets you use Calibri in your presentation.


Let me know how you like it!

Font Missing rant '16.01.03



I'm having same problem in iPad Pages. Thx for your solution {Select All, copy, create a new blank document, paste (it preserves Styles), then delete the original, and rename the blank}. This problem is due to "abuser unfriendly" bad, careless code. As firmware engineer, I was very happy to get my hands on an Apple Lisa circa 1984 and see the Xerox open system GUI implemented. Finally bought an Apple product in 2014 after suffering for about 12 years under DOS & Windows. The hardware and OS seems to be very sound with only a few crashes. (But why can't I run two versions of Pages side by side using the OS?). The apps that I've used seem to be buggy, unfinshed, with undocumented features. Even the Apple apps like Pages. Well I'm done ranting. Thx, again for your solution.
