I am also a font simpleton (I hesitate to use the word ignoramus because I certainly haven't "ignored" font issues. But "wayback" in the 90s I realized that scaling fonts was a nastier job than scaling fish and the font wars between Apple and the Softies and Adobe stunk.) I'm a pacifist and a low intermediate FM 8.0 user and would also appreciate some straight forward information on fonts and FM. Even some links to relevant info would be very much appreciated. A couple weeks ago I opened some FM docs for updating and received the "Missing fonts" message. I looked in the online help and the FrameMaker 7 reference from Scriptorium, but I couldn't find a quick way to determine the names of the missing fonts. When FM produces the "missing fonts" message, does it know what fonts are missing or does it just know it can't find them?

You're not the only ignorant one here. It sure would be nice if somebody knowledgeable were to pen a comprehensive article on the subject of font types and FM for Intercom. But I am certianly not knowledgeable in the subject; like many of us, I stick with what I know and hope nothing goes wrong. john _______________________________________________ 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.
