There is a very simple workaround for the problem of DELETING text in font that doesn't allow editing privileges. It turns out that there is ONE operation that IS allowed for such text. You are still allowed to change the font to any font that you have installed on your system that does allow editable embedding. Change the font from, let's say "Glurbish Modern" (a font that obviously doesn't allow editing) to let's say "Inebriated Oblique" (a font that probably doesn't care if it is embedded or whatever). Once the font change is made from Glurbish Modern to Inebriated Oblique, you can delete the characters that are now in Inebriated Oblique without any problem. - Dov _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
