Sure, I'll make that change.  But then you owe me an explanation over beer as to how this'll help improve the exchange of documents :-)

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?
