Re: Garbage characters in FM9
Mike, Is the problem limited to Minion Pro font? By any chance, have you edited your maker.ini file lately and if so, did you open it in anything other than Notepad? I learned through frustrating experience that editing maker.ini in say, WordPad, can cause garbage characters to start appearing in place of certain letters.

Changing font when translating to Japanese
I use MS' Meiryo font. It is based on Verdana. This way, we do not have to change the font and can use conditional text in English and Japanese when we produce WebHelp. Someone mentioned universal Verdana. Please post a link to this. Charles
