Personal Book Builder: "xxx is not a valid font for use in resources."
Hi friends.
I'm creating a commentary on Ephesians, but the PBB complains about whatever font I use: Times New Roman or Arial, or anything.
The compile works, but this is the error log:
[Info] Starting build for PBB:9443e6f8eddd4bb580ac36119aef2e8d

Actually, Times New Roman should not come in an error message - and doesn't for me - as this is the one Logos wants us to use: it will treat Times New Roman 12 pt as "standard" and convert it into the font you select for resource display in the Logos System Settings.
Changing the fonts for standard text and headings to Times New Roman, I could reduce the build errors to four fonts. However, it's difficult to wash out fonts from a document - Word doesn't find those and thus can't replace them - but anyway, as you know, those errors are a nuisance more than a functionality issue.
Have joy in the Lord!

Thanks for the reply, Nick.
I guess I'll just ignore the errors then.0 -
I ignore the errors. I use Times New Roman and yet the errors still claim I am using other fonts (which I am not). I always thought it must be a bug

its an error in Word, but here are 2 word macros which may help, I use them first thing after importing my raw text:
The first resets the whole document to "normal"Sub LogosPB_SetWholeTextToNormal()
Selection.WholeStory
Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Normal")
End SubThe second resets all the "normal" sections within document to Times New Roman 12, and set to US english
Sub LogosPB_SetNormalFonttoTNR()
With ActiveDocument.Styles("Normal")
.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS
.Font.Name = "Times New Roman"
.Font.Size = 12
End With
End Subhope these also help reduce your errors

this may or not be of use, it will highlight turquoise any non-listed fonts in your document, but does not replace them:
Sub LogosPB_ShowOddFontsinNorm()
' Highlight all fonts NOT named in the listWith ActiveDocument.Styles("Normal")
myDiffColour = wdTurquoise
nonHighlight = 5
ReDim myFont(nonHighlight) As String
myFont(1) = "Times New Roman"
' your greek font here
myFont(2) = ""
' your hebrew font here
myFont(3) = ""
' additional to skip
myFont(4) = ""
myFont(5) = ""
nowColour = Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex
Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = myDiffColour
Set rng = ActiveDocument.Content
rng.Font.Shadow = True
For i = 1 To nonHighlight
If myFont(i) > "" Then
thisFont = myFont(i)
With Selection.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.MatchWildcards = False
.Text = ""
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Font.Name = thisFont
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Replacement.Font.Shadow = False
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End If
Next i
With Selection.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.MatchWildcards = False
.Text = ""
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Font.Shadow = True
.Replacement.Font.Shadow = False
.Replacement.Highlight = True
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End With
Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = nowColour
End Sub

THANKS, DominicM.
All 3 of the macros will help me clean up my PBB work and eliminate lots of frustration.
Got any more macro goodies?
