I have the following code that looks through my links and changes all of the drive letters to the new locations where they exist. So if something stays in the same folder structure, but moves to a new drive E: and InDesign can not longer find it, you can run the code and have it fix them all.
Well I want to do the same but for fonts that have also moved.
Thank you in advance for any and all help!
