Hi all, I've been told I have to produce Readmes for several of our products in text files. I want to be able to control some basic look-and-feel though, such as column-width, and it was suggested to me to use Groff or Latex. I've been looking into this for a bit, but can't really figure it

I have a system running Vista Enterprise, and it has the FNTCACHE.DAT file located in the \Windows\System32\ folder. It appears it was last updated when I installed fonts on that system. My experience so far has been that font management is very similar to XP. The only difference I've seen is

Yup, it's still there! C:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT However, it has never been a font management scheme but rather a caching mechanism for the Windows font renderer. Deleting that file and rebooting every so often apparently solves the problem of missing runs of characters when printing

The symptom was reported against FrameMaker internally. The problem has been seen in printing to PostScript printers and as such, cannot be traced in any way to Distiller (or the AdobePDF PostScript printer driver instance). The symptom is not directly reproducible; all we know is that by

Hi Dov Are you saying that deleting the font cache and rebooting should get rid of the symptoms for a while, regardless of the size of the font cache after reboot? My memory of last year's posts was that you had to also reduce the size of the font cache by deleting big unused fonts. I did that a

Hi David Well, if it works it's probably okay. The only thing that worries me is that you may have problems maintaining it long-term. The general advice is to avoid overrides. But I'd better define what override actually means: it's formatting applied to part or all of a paragraph by some method
