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

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. 😟

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.

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.

i had this problem - and the various comments re PPT import - meta data etc - are all spot on (IMHO) ... one easily overlooked place is master template ... i discovered that i had calibri sitting in an unused master slide - once i deleted it from the template on mac - it wasnt used anyway - the problem went away - good luck
