'Bold' not inserted in Character Formats
Thank you all for replying. It is nice not to be the only one experiencing this problem! We have a weird saying in Iceland that goes something like this transposed (rather than translated) into English: "Sweet is a shared shipwreck". Like you mention, the ATM seemed to do a better job of controlling the fonts this way (ATM Light was included with the registration too). I will have a look at the [Fonts] section of the maker.ini and see what I come up with. And maybe Adobe and the Redmond giant need once more to go into some talks about how to handle fonts? This used to be OK, but now we have had a couple of years of SP2 and endless automatic upgrades. Maybe one of these have done something to harm the beautiflul relationship of the two?

Which should we purchase, PhotoShop or Illustrator
I am not sure what you mean by cleaning up graphics. If you mean mainly the scaling and setting the pixelation, The GIMP (http://www.gimp.org) is a free (as in speech and as in beer) alternative, and it you can get with it a very good, free handbook, help files etc. The only downside is that The GIMP does not support CMYK (4-color separation). However ther is a plugin that can handle these and, of course you can send a RGB uncompressed TIFF file for CMYK adaption at the printshop etc. With Photoshop and FM under Windoze, you would have to, as so many times explained on this list, save the CMYK Photoshop file as ESP and import the ESP into FM for the CMYK not to be changed into RGB by Windoze/FM. I find it easier to use The GIMP to "clean up" my screen shots, photos etc. than PhotoShop and I have the CS. What I am using the most out of the CS suite is Illustrator (logoes, various vector drawings) and InDesign. One of the main practical differences between bitmap and vector is that vector is fully scalable, since it is a collection of commands on e. g. where to start a line, where to end it and whether it is a straight line, arc, etc., much like a PostScript font, whereas the bitmap is not talking about lines or fills (even though the bitmap application may do that -- PhotoShop etc) but is just a collection of bits in a given two-dimentional area in a certain order, much as you see on your screen, and therefore, scaling will in most cases mean a certain distortion of the image.

I think in both cases, FM sees the boldface version as a separate font instead of a weight variation. I'm surprised that it's happening with plain vanilla Helvetica, although I recall it happening years ago with the Helvetica Neue family -- each different weight appeared as a separate font (Helvetica 45 and Helvetica 65 were two of them, IIRC). You may be able to solve this with the appropriate additions to the [Fonts] section of maker.ini. We use Adobe's OpenType Futura, and had the same problem. Adding the following lines to the [WindowsToFrameFontAliases] section of maker.ini seemed to solve the problem: Futura Std Medium, Regular, Regular=FuturaStd-Medium, Regular, Regular, * Futura Std Medium, Italic, Regular=FuturaStd-Medium, Oblique, Regular, * Futura Std Medium, Regular, Bold=FuturaStd-Heavy, Regular, Regular, * Futura Std Medium, Italic, Bold=FuturaStd-Heavy, Oblique, Regular, * Of course, figuring out exactly what to add can be problematic. I recall there was some trial and error, and ATM Deluxe was essential to figuring out the "Frame font name" (the right side of the = sign). The [UnknownToKnownFontMap] section may be another area to explore. I recall that we used to use it to map AvantGarde SemiBold to AvantGarde DemiBold (or vice versa). Unfortunately, the arcane details of how the fonts entries in maker.ini work don't seem to be documented anywhere (beyond the inadequate comments in the file), so such vague hints are about all I can offer. If you're in luck, someone who's solved the same problem with the same fonts will chime in with the exact fix. :-) (If not, and if you all figure it out, be sure to post the solution for the benefit of the next person.)

That hit count is deceptive because of the way the search was
specified. The search returns all pages that include the word
"Document" or the word "Settings", not just the ones that have
inappropriate metadata strings.
Use the search specification
"Documents and Settings" +pdf
for a more relevant search result. (A quick visual scan of a
hundred or so result listings showed that all of them included
a pathname that included the user's login name, which was not
the case with the broader search.) But even this narrower search
returns more than 2 million hits, including more than 200,000
documents that deal with some aspect of computer security!

Re: What do you use for PDF Generation?
Hi, Fred.
Ouch! This is exactly the reason (information inside files) that I
started this set of questions in the first place! We wanted to avoid
a problem with inadvertent hidden content in a Word or Excel file
that somebody here sent out of the company.
I was hoping that PDF would prevent it, but learned that I needed to
do something extra to prevent it! At least this info is automatically
not present in the PDF if I disable the item as suggested. In Word,
we not have such controls, as far as I know, and asking users to all
remember to change the properties, etc., is not going to work. Too
easy to forget!
So, sorry, Shlomo, I'd much rather live without the "feature" than
have such problems occur! :)
