Re: Expanding fonts...
Well, the fact that it isn't there is REALLY interesting. Are you looking at the maker.ini in your FM install directory, or a personal copy? I've never seen a C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.2\maker.ini that didn't have it. So if it is missing, I'd say yes, it'd be safe to add it; you can always remove it if it does something unexpected. Art On 1/16/07, Dodd, Frank J [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is interesting...

Expanding fonts...Success!
There are actually 3 maker.ini's on my machine. Only 1 contains the display setting (the one in the FM home directory). I modified and rebooted and magically all my pages now have a different size font. Worked great... Thanks for the help. Next problem will be in a new thread.. Again thanks to all who replied for the help.

When printing FM pages the fonts mysteriously expand on the page and will overlap/underlap inserted graphics.. Tried different printers with no luck. Any suggestions?
