video to illustrate issue at hand: https://youtu.be/a29GiOtKyHk
Hi there,
I am currently running MacOS Mojave 10.14.6, with InDesign cs6.
Our company is beginning to transition from QuarkXpress 2017 to IDcs6, so we purchased the plug-in program Markzware to convert all of our .qxp files into .idml files. Everything is running smoothly for the most part, but indesign is having trouble recognizing our body copy font as the same in quark and indesign. After converting the file, I open the IDML in indesign and the typical missing font error pops up, only the font is not technically missing. On quark, the font is just called ‘Stone Serif’ but when looking at it through indesign, it’s called “ITC stone serif.” On my system, however, the font family is just called ‘Stone’ and each of the different font styles are listed as ‘StoneSer ….’
I found an article which states “the font you are looking for, uses a different internal font name than do QuarkXPress and/or InDesign, and the same font, under a slightly different name, will be available, referring to the exact same font” which is exactly the issue I’m having, but the article provides no solution on how to tell InDesign that the font it’s reading is the same one as what it says is missing.
I know that it’s not a huge workaround to just use the “Find Fonts..” panel in Indesign and update all of our body text, but we are looking to convert hundreds of files from quark to indesign, so I’d like to see if theres a solution/a way that I can tell indesign to read the font in the same way it does for Quark, so that when I open the new .idml pages in Indesign, I don’t have to update the font and style sheets every time I open a new document.
It should be noted as well that it is only creating this issue for two of our fonts, Stone Serif and Matrix. It does not say the fonts are missing for other text we use on the page.
Hopefully this video I made will help illustrate this issue a bit better: https://youtu.be/a29GiOtKyHk
I will also link articles I’ve already looked at so it’s known what I’ve already tried to fix the issue.

– this page technically is referring to their software, but it is where I saw the information about quark and indesign reading separate file names.

– tried everything from this thread to no avail.
https://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/quick-tip-troubleshooting-font-problems-in-adobe-indesign–cms…
– tried everything here as well, and what’s even weirder, is under the Library/Application Support/Adobe/ folder, I don’t have a fonts folder, only the FontsRecommended and FontsRequired folders.
