Codex auto-installs missing Keynote fonts and even finds commercial-safe replacements
vista8 · x · 2026-08-04
A user used Codex to fix missing fonts in a Keynote template for a Douyin Skill course.
- The prompt listed the missing font names, and Codex searched for downloads and installed them automatically.
- For several commercially licensed Fangzheng fonts, Codex even installed the Fangzheng client and found free-for-commercial-use substitutes.
- The post also notes that SVG-to-PNG conversion was just a Keynote compatibility warning, not a font problem.
It is a neat example of an agent handling a messy desktop workflow end to end, including software installation and font substitution.
