Thanks Mark: this is all most useful, and has a horrible ring of truth. >[stuff...] > >If you are doing this once-and-forever it may be best to go through all the >styles on a Windows PC and issue new templates, because of the complexities of >telling clients how to find and replace their fm.ini files. Depends on how >many users you have. Not many end users of this template: currently three. Yes, but the problem is that I don't have access to a PC FrameMaker installation. Would not another valid cure by to tell them to uninstall their current Frutiger and replace it with a 'clean' font set from the same source as I got mine from? Cost is not an issue here really as the client will pay for new fonts, and Monotype only charge $22 a face for Frutger. -- Steve _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
