    I'm working in a client file that when I opened have [fonts missing]. What is the preference that highlights the missing fonts is pink? (I'm a Quark user trying to switch to ID)

    “Do, or don't do. There is no try.” (Well: try to let go of your Quark experience as soon as possible, and do not treat InDesign as Quark-with-added-bits :-D )

    It's in your Preferences dialog, under Composition: “Substituted Fonts”. It's really a rather dangerous thing to switch off — you might want to communicate this towards your client — because, apart from the message on opening the document, it might go unnoticed. This setting is saved with the document, and your client switched it off. Bad behavior, really.

    Also, don't only rely on your eyes to spot pink highlighted text. Sometimes this gets obscured by other graphic elements (a pink background, for example). Always use “Find font” under the Type menu to double- and triple-check if you saw and corrected every occurrence — I use this so much I added a hot key combo for that function.
