Should also have said that we are all working on Macs and I think we
all three have the same laptops and Mac OSX10.5.8 operating system.

Hi folks,
I am really hoping someone has an easy answer for this one!
I have a large Filemaker Pro 10.1 file with multiple tables and many
layouts that have fields set to various fonts. Several layouts
include calculated text and number fields wherein the fontsize,
style, and font of the field information is specified via the
calculation. The file is accessed by multiple users via Filemaker
Server 10.
It was all working wonderfully this morning when we were testing the
new scripts I created to allow people to export pdfs of multiple
records/layouts to their own computers.
The script worked fine on my computer and on one other person's
computer.
Then a third person tried the script and it seemed to work fine also.
However, when I re-opened the file a short time later on my
computer, suddenly all the fonts throughout the entire file,
including the calculated fields that had specified fonts in the
calculations, had changed to Lucinda Grand font.
Upon further investigation it turned out that all the pdfs generated
by the third user similarly had all fields in that font (again
including calculated fields that included different fonts as part of
the calculation). So, the suspicion is that the result might have
had something to do with settings on her computer. She had all the
fonts that were in use in the file on her computer.
We tried removing the file from the server and recovering it--and
that did restore the correct fonts in some layouts and some of the
calculated fields, but not all.
Is there anything else I could do that might restore ALL the fonts
in the file to the correct assigned ones?
Can anyone provide a clue as to why this might have happened? If we
have to, we could go to a backup file, but that will mean quite a
bit of lost work, and I worry that the same thing could easily
happen again unless we figure out what caused the problem.
Help!!
Thanks in advance.
Sue
