Hi Framers, hi Adobe experts,
I read about the Adobe / Google project of inventing a type with a complete Unicode basic plane 0 (--> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_Han_Sans). So I found a website where I downloaded the Adobe versions (which is "Source Sans Han"; in the sc version), and also from Google I got the "NotoSansCJK" fonts (which are said to contain the same glyphs). When I use the standard chinese (sc) versions of these fonts in FrameMaker 12 (and FM 8, on Win7), on screen everything looks fine, but the resulting PDF is -->empty! ("Empty" means that there is no font information on the page at all, nothing is reported missing, only some characters from other fonts will show up, the rest is absolutely blank.) I tried rebuilding the Windows font cache, but without change in the output. --> The same text in Indesign will print fine with these fonts as PDF. So whats the problem here? Why can't FrameMaker do this...? Is the font too "big"? I know that Opentype features are not available in FM (yet). But until now, I always thought that that there would be no problems with using normal CJK fonts. Of course I remember the "font cache problem" of the old days of Windows XP which caused an ongoing dementia concerning the characters (which could fortunately be cured with a patch from Microsoft). As this font project was developed by Adobe, I guess some of you Adobe folks might come up with an answer (or solution?) for this. Best regards - Tino H. Haida, Berlin
