Framers,
I think the new fonts supplied with Frame 7.2 (and 7.1) could do with better
documentation.
When I received my FM7.2 upgrade I knew it was supplied with a new set of fonts
so I looked on the CD but couldn't find them anywhere.
After inspecting my FM7.2 installation I found them all lurking in \Program
Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.2\fminit\fonts\Adobe.
I then attempted to install the fonts from there using the Windows Fonts
control panel. After some puzzlement I eventually realised they were Private
Fonts which could only be used in FM 7.2. They are clearly loaded by FM during
program startup and thus lead to the extended startup time.
I also eventually discovered that the only way to access the full set of font
variations was by setting up paragraph styles.
And finally, to embed the fonts in my Acrobat documents, I found I had to go
the Font Locations dialog in Distiller and update the incorrect path to these
private fonts.
Why couldn't the FM 7.2 New Features PDF not say something like:
FM 7.2 comes with a set of high-quality OpenType fonts. They are loaded during
application startup and are then available for use in your FrameMaker
documents. You cannot use them in your Windows applications.
However, now I know how to use these fonts, thankyou to Adobe for including
them!

Klaus,
My machine is similar in configuration to yours and Frame 7.2 loads in about 10
seconds. (7.1 is no longer on this machine.) In my case, Fonts also takes the
longest time to load (about 7 seconds for a couple hundred fonts).
Thanks,
Don.

Dear all,
FM 7.2 starts very slow compared to 7.1 - what may be the reason?

What may be the reason for the much more time consuming font handling in FM
7.2?
