What is the reason for the warning issued at the startup of garageband on my computer "Some text fonts are missing or not displayable...You can replace Fonts globally in the Text Style Window."?
I have repaired my font book, resolved conflicts (as well as I know how to do) and still this warning pops up...
Whats the deal?

I read on the apple discussion pages that resolving font duplicates in font book does the trick.
I tried it and still get the same dialog box.
No ideas beyond that...hence my post.

Can someone of the 70 or so people who have looked at this thread give me an idea whats gone wrong? Is this a common thing? Im pretty annoyed with this situation...having an utidy situation on my computer makes me annoyed.
Thanks,

I think it's just the that whoever made the demo songs used some font that we don't have.

When you start up GarageBand it opens the last file you had open, which is probably one of the demos.

If you create a new file, save it, and open it again I predict you won't have this problem.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Not true...
I never loaded any of the demos...and the only tracks I ever used were ones I created...
and, I saw that warning on my first login.
