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 Multiple 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.
Chap

I tried the Reset button but still have the same problem. I have been
spending a great deal of time playing with settings etc. but nothing seems to
work.
Also, I still cannot find the “Change” button mentioned in the Help section-
maybe it would help.

John,
The options in Options > Customize > Master Report Fonts don't take effect
until you click on the Reset button in the Report Fonts window for each report.
That's not explained in the Help topic for Customize - Fonts. I'll ask the
programmer to add that.
Sincerely,

Either I am confused or there are technical problems with Legacy.
I saved a set of selected fonts via Customise- “Master Report Fonts (gbl)”.
I loaded them into various reports. The custom fonts however only display in
reports when opened via the relevant toolbar buttons. The custom fonts never
work in the same reports when opened in the Publication Center- even when I
reload them while in the Publication Center.
Related side matter- while trying to solve the above problem, I noticed in
the Help section, mention of a “Change” button but I cannot find it anywhere.
