Dear Craig,

I experienced this same issue as my company's product reads in *alot* of XML content, and one of the customers panics whenever they see _any_ FrameMaker 'console' messages.

The mapping appears to be made in an entity formats document:
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker10\Structure\entfmts"
which has a rather historic comment that "FrameMaker+SGML copies character formats and user variables from this file while importing SDATA entities from SGML documents".

This isn't the first occurrence of where Adobe ships files that reference fonts that are no longer supplied, and probably won't be the last.

Dov,

I didn't initiate this conversation, but I'd like to chime in.

Your points are well taken, but a problem I had with the Adobe PI substitution 
was that simple bullets were coming across as question marks in my PDFs. That 
would indicate a mapping problem that is pretty obvious.

Also, you might want to tell the Framemaker team that whenever I open a new 
DITA document in FrameMaker I get the following messages in the FrameMaker 
console:

The "Zapfdingbats" Font Family is not available.
   "Adobe Pi Std" will be used in this session.
The "Zapfdingbats Regular" Font is not available.
   "AdobePiStd" will be used in this session.

If Adobe Pi Std is not a problem, maybe they should update the DITA templates 
for the next release and remove the source of this error. That is, unless 
Zapf-Dingbats is somehow part of the DITA standard (which really can't be 
true). The fewer the error messages the more likely we are to see critical 
errors.

Thanks for all your insights.

Craig
