Following the "Customizing" pdf manual and advice I've received on this list, I
was attempting to locate the maker.ini file (for FM 7.1) to change the font
specs (the manual indicates the path
UserProfile\ApplicationData\Adobe\FrameMaker\7.0). Looking under Program
Files\Adobe\FrameMaker 7.1, no maker.ini file is evident. I've also run
searches with no results. Any ideas?
Thanks

Subject: missing fonts after changing computers;customize maker.ini file?
I need to reset my fonts for a new computer; this is especially important for
bullets and some symbols. How can I configure Frame so that it uses the fonts
that it used on the old machine?
I'm using FM 7.1 on Windows XP Professional (Version 2002, Service Pack 3), and
I need to restore my font settings so that FM can use Helvetica for some
paragraph formats and ZapfDingbats for square bullets and other symbols.
Currently ZapfDingbats is replaced by Times New Roman, Helvetica by Arial, and
Times by Times Roman.
So far, I have downloaded the free Adobe Type Manager from the Abobe Website.
Both Helvetica, Times, and Zapf Dingbats appear in the ATM window in the
PSFONTS folder.
However, when I open a Frame document, I get the missing fonts message followed
by the Framemaker Console List with the list of unavailable fonts followed by
the fonts that replace them.
Furthermore, in the Family drop-down list, Default tab of the Paragraph
Designer dialog box, the missing fonts appear in grey.
Some years ago, when I was using FM 6 on Windows 2000, I seem to recall
changing the font settings in the maker.ini file; that recollection may be
unreliable.
I tried to follow the Customizing FrameMaker manual for locating the maker.ini
files and changing font profiles, but couldn't find the corresponding folders
on my machine (the manual indicates
UserProfile\ApplicationData\Adobe\FrameMaker\7.0).
