Re: [LegacyUG] Custom font set not working in Publication Center
Chap and Cathy,
Thank you both.
Cathy’s suggestion solved the font problem.
I am also very grateful for Chap’s help and publishing information. I had a
look at lulu.com, and it looks very good.

John,
Some options have to be chosen in the Publication Centre itself and not from
the individual Reports.
It looks to me as if Fonts is one of these as you'll find a Fonts button on the
Options tab of the Publication Centre. This is also where you set the Margins
for your Book.

Hi Chap,
Thank you for replying. It appears there is a glitch in the system-
maybe since the latest version of Legacy which is what I am using.
The steps that you mentioned are what I have been doing. At step 6,
when I click on Report Fonts my custom fonts are shown. When however,
I close the windows until I am back in Publication Center then preview
the chapters, they are displayed with Legacy default fonts.
This is not a problem while out of Publication Center and previewing
individual reports via toolbar buttons- all custom fonts are displayed.
To me it appears that there is “broken connection” between my custom
fonts file and the Publication Center.
The book that I am preparing will be the same dimensions as yours (8
1/2 X 11 hardback) and probably about the same thickness. May I ask
whether Legacy’s default margins are suitable for printers/ publishers
or should the left margin be widened to allow for binding of the book etc?

John:
In the Publication center, you have access to and can change the fonts
for each chapter of the report.
Let's say you have the 1st chapter as a Mult iple Lines of Descendant
Book Report and the 2nd Chapter as an Ancestor Chart for xxx.
1. Go to Reports > Publication Center.
2. Click / highlight Chapter 1 - Multiple Lines of Descendant Book
3. At bottom of window, click Edit Settings for Current Chapter
4. In this window, at bottom, click Report Options
5. In this new window, click Format Tab at top
6. At far right, Click Report Fonts
This is where you change specific fonts for each area of the report.
Make your changes and close each window until you are back to the
Publication Center window. These steps set up the Multiple lines of
Descendant Chapters.
For the 2nd Chapter, Ancestor Chart, follow the same steps above and
set the fonts displayed/printed.
Repeat for each chapter you have in the Publication Center Reports.
I just recently published an 8 1/2 X 11 hardback covered book that had
36 Chapters and was 535 pages long or about 1" thick book.
You will need do many Previews and create a PDFs to make sure
everything is OK before sending to any printer.
Good luck.

That's not explained in the Help topic for Customize - Fonts. I'll

Re: [LegacyUG] Custom font set not working in Publication Center
John: My page formatting is as follows for my book: Top: 0.5" Bottom: 0.5" Left: 1.1" Right: 0.7" Yes you should allow a little extra on the left for the binding of the book. I used www.lulu.com to publish and am very happy with them. Good luck on your Publisher fonts.
