PostScript Type 1 fonts, as their name suggests, were intended for print production using Adobe PostScript. They are an old font format which have largely been superseded by the later OpenType format as PostScript Type 1 fonts are not supported in digital and web publishing.

Adobe announced they were stopping supporting PostScript Type 1 fonts in any new software released after 2021.

Note that Type 1 fonts will no longer appear in InDesign's Font menus and must instead be replaced using Type > Find/Replace Font:

InDesign's Find/Replace Font dialog showing missing Type 1 fonts

PostScript Type 1 fonts show their Type as ‘Type 1’ and warning signs alongside their name in Find/Replace Font’s dialog.

Fix this problem by finding and activating a different font format in InDesign or in some cases by substituting for other fonts.
