ProShow does not tell you a font is missing?

[Richardh]

I opened up a project today and ProShow is using the wrong font. The problem is I don't know what the font is. Usually PhotoShop and Illustrator along with many other programs tell you that a font is missing when you open it. With ProShow it seems if a font is missing, it just uses Arial and does not notify you of a missing font.

I can't not remember the font I used and was wondering if there is anyway to find out what font it is.

Thanks!

Well I figured out a way and thought I would post it.

The PSH file is just text so I was able to open it up with a text editor and find the font it wants to use.

Really wish ProShow would warn you if a font is missing.

You did it the only way possible, Richard.

Yeah, that text file sure is handy sometimes. Good for simple find & replace scripts too when needed.

That Christmas link you posted - Nice lights!
Reminds me a few years ago some guy had a similar magnificent light display at his house that you could control via his website and watch via a live web cam. Of course, his server and lights got over used due to all the traffic.
