Japan translation and dtp

2012-11-19 Thread jon.har...@teradyne.com

Japanese is the most expensive language to translate into. I recommend
asking your translator for the translation memory (TM) files as part of the
deliverables. Otherwise, it will be just as expensive the next time you ask
for your docs to be translated.

Jacob,

Hello. For the Japanese DTP, I recommend that you use the following fonts:

Kozuka Mincho Pro (KozMinPro) (for the substitution of serif font)
Kozuka Gothic Pro (KozGoPro) (for the substitution of sans-serif font)

These fonts may be  included in the font set of the Acrobat Pro, so you
may have already installed them, and you can embed them to the PDF.

I use the FrameMaker in my office only and I'm in my home now, so
I cannot advise about the detailed settings for the Japanese composition
(Kumihan). But if you have any questions, please post them to this ML.

Best Regards,
Hirofumi

bullets for nested lists

2012-11-19 Thread Robert Lauriston
I'm revising my FM 10 templates to get rid of ZapfDingbats, which
someone back in the FM 5.5.6 era chose for bullets in paragraph tags.

One option is just to use the bullet building block for all three
levels of bullets.

Another might be to use the same bullet symbols you'd get in a Web
browser (solid round, hollow round, solid square), but I don't find
any Web-safe font with all three of the same size. Am I missing
something?


font change not appearing in Autonumber

2012-11-19 Thread Robert Lauriston
I was trying to avoid having to change anything in the documents. If I
were going to edit the styles, I'd just use the bullet building block.

Eventually I figured out that the fundamental problem was that the
docs department's master font directory had only one of the two files
required to install the Type 1 version of ZapfDingbats.

Confluence 4 export: the one feature that would justify my upgrading from FM10

2012-11-19 Thread Robert Lauriston
MIF2Go can generate Confluence 4 XHTML, but I still haven't managed to
import it into Confluence except page by page.

And there's no way to go the other direction, which would actually be
the biggest selling point.
