to all,
I am not exactly a newbie, been using FrameMaker since version 4. I am
currently on version 8.
The program, working in a Windows XP environment, does everything I need
it to do, with the exception of one irritation: It does not do automatic
ligatures the way QuarkExpress and InDesign do. As one who is devoted to
traditional typography, this is important to me, and the way I get
around, is by using Expert font sets and manually replacing every fi and
fl pairs with Upper case letters that then need to be assigned character
styles.
In a 400 page book, this is a time consuming process that is liable for
introducing silly misprints.
So the questions are these:
1. Does version 10 do automatic ligatures?
I don't seem to find an answer on the Frame web site and downloading a
trial just to find this out is not a good ideas.
2. Is version 8 compatible with Windows XP?
This is important to me because I need to be able to run DOS programs
for my business, and I do not wish to mess with DosBox emulators.
Thanks you for your assistance.
