Hmmm ... I just upgraded to FrameMaker 9, downloaded all the patches and opened
a file that was fine in FrameMaker 8 just yesterday.
Version: 9.0p250.
OS: Windows Vista Business SP2 - all patches installed.
I get this on the console window when opening the file:
maker: Cannot read font metrics from font file named
PalatinoLinotype-Italic.
The font file may be damaged.
maker: Cannot read font metrics from font file named
PalatinoLinotype-Italic.
The font file may be damaged.
maker: Cannot read font metrics from font file named
PalatinoLinotype-Roman.
The font file may be damaged.
maker: Cannot read font metrics from font file named
PalatinoLinotype-Roman.
The font file may be damaged.
maker: Cannot read font metrics from font file named
PalatinoLinotype-Italic.
The font file may be damaged.
maker: Cannot read font metrics from font file named
PalatinoLinotype-Bold.
The font file may be damaged.
Pretty much a long list for this same font family only (all the variants as you
can see above).
So far, the side effect seems to be:
1. It looks like the screen is displaying properly. But, I am not actually sure
if it is replacing it with another font for the display - it certainly looks
like Palatino rather than Times Roman or something like that!
2. Print to "Adobe PDF" printer works. The resulting PDF file says that the
fonts are in there as PalatinoLinotype and appear to be correct.
3. But, now, for the first time in a long time for me (yes, yes, I know other
folk's experiences. :)), "Save as PDF" breaks. Anything that should be in
PalatinoLinotype is not showing - a bunch of squiggly lines show instead.
I have not, obviously, touched the font file in a long, long time.
The four font files show in the Fonts windows as "Open Type" fonts - cannot
attach the folder listing graphics directly here (can only show the DOS window
listing here) - although I had thought they were True Type fonts:

Anybody have any thoughts as to what is going on here?
