Question
I'm using InDesign CS3.  The program is missing a certain font,
Palatino, and I need it for this layout.  When I open an InDesign file
with Palatino, it says it's a missing font, and offers to replace it
with another one (Times).  I think I need to install a plug-in in order to use
those missing fonts.  I've been using this website,
http://www.proximasoftware.com/download.htm to try and download the
plug ins, which then need to be put in the Plug-In folder in the InDesign file.  
It's not working.

Answer
Emily,

Missing a font is not a plugin problem, it is a font problem. You will need to purchase the font Palatino. There are many font websites out there where you can purchase it.

If you go to fonts.com you should be able to find it.

To install the font, after you purchase it, put it in your applications (program files)/Adobe InDesign/Fonts folder.
