OK, do it the hard way.

Quit Pages, find the font files, and move them to your Desktop. Restart
Pages. It will complain, but might give you a chance to offer
subtitutes.

Or, you could learn to like the typeface.

Have you got Word? You can search and replace font instances in Word I
reckon so you could export and import to/from Word. I've not tried it
though. It's a breeze in layout progs such as QuarkXpress.

Done - worked fine. Drastic but you're right, if nothing else is working...

Personally I like it - I was using in an ad I'd recreated for someone
(am doing the programme for a local carnival, text was wrong in a
non-editable PDF original so I recreated the look using editable text
and some graphics). Thing is that apparently the printer couldn't embed
Helvetica Neue, where 'the printer' is a print shop not a desktop
thingy. I just needed something that was embeddable in a PDF so this
print shop could use it.


Cheers,
Ian

Yep, I'm used to being able to do this kind of thing but never tried in
Pages. I don't have Word on the Mac and not sure what it would have
done to a Pages 09 page layout document anyway. Quark would have eaten
it of course, but I do this job once a year so Pages is plenty for my
page layout needs.


Cheers,
Ian

I should have also suggested:

open up the file package, find the compressed xml file, take a copy
(duh), and inside the xml file, change all references to one font to
another.
