A minor drafting quibble. Contractions like 'doesn't' and isn't' are
artifacts of speech and not really appropriate for formal documents.
They distract readers by raising the expectation that the sentence is
somehow a transcript of speech or colloquial writing. Why not just
write "Not got that font? No worries!" if a conversational style is
acceptable?
