Great suggestion, thanks Winfried. I have been working with all files
open, because some have that font error message upon opening, and I
haven’t taken time yet to fix that. And … as time goes by, I
think/suspect increasingly that this problem has to do with linking to
empty target paragraphs. Ergo, my request for input on nonprinting
characters I might use to trick FM into thinking that those paras are
not really empty.
Elchanan,
I really doubt that putting non-printing characters (or printing
characters, for that matter) into your "empty" paragraphs will solve the
problem. If the paragraph exists at all, then FM has assigned it a
unique number and will use that number internally to create links. If
the target has a cross-ref marker in it, then the pgf is also no longer
empty but contains the marker with its own unique number for linking.
You can see that for yourself if you open a .mif version of your files.
Your "empty" paragraphs will take up several lines with content of this
sort (from an "empty" pgf containing only a xref marker):
<Para
<Unique 998909>
<PgfTag `special'>
<PgfReferenced Yes>
<ParaLine
<Marker
<MType 9>
<MTypeName `Cross-Ref'>
<MText `special pgf marker'>
<MCurrPage `1'>
<Unique 998920>
> # end of Marker

There is some other cause for your broken links. Are you saving all open
files after making corrections, before regenerating files?
Have you tried generating a list of unresolved cross-references when the
problem occurs? There may be clues in such a list.
