I have a weird problem on my hands, and I probably have had it for a long time (years). I have a problem with setting some of my Character Tags to bold. I am not sure whether it is isolated to the Helvetica font, but this is how it goes:
I start the usual way by CTRL-D to the Character Designer. Set all to 'As Is' Name the tag (e.g. Bold or Caution, see sample clip from MIF file) Set all to 'As Is' again. Set Font Weight to 'Bold' It looks OK, but nothing happens, as this MIF sample shows: <Font <FTag `Bold'> <FWeight `'> <FLocked No> > # end of Font <Font <FTag `Caution'> <FWeight `'> <FUnderlining FNumeric> <FLocked No> > # end of Font As implied above, the font for most paragraph tags is Helvetica. And within paragraph tags the font weight setting to 'Bold' is OK. Now, if I seem to be able to set this character tag correctly and someone else is using it on his computer and everything seems to be working OK, the next time I see it and check it out the setting used is actually 'Bolded' instead of 'Bold'. I have the Helvetica Bold installed on all computers involved, and these are originally fonts that we got with our all licensed PageMaker 5, 6 and 6.5 packages through the years. I believe it is the 6.0 distro we are using. These distros included some 200 fonts free upon registering and sending a special message, including the Helvetica regular, bold, oblique and bold oblique. Now, if I change the tags manually within a MIF copy as below, everything seems to work as expected when I open it in FM again... <Font <FTag `Bold'> <FWeight `Bold'> <FLocked No> > # end of Font <Font <FTag `Caution'> <FWeight `Bold'> <FUnderlining FNumeric> <FLocked No> > # end of Font ... until you then go to the Character Catalog, the you see that everything is changed to 'Bolded' again! This is an unstructured document, but I am opening it in Structured FM, currently with a lot of structured files open that is rather time consuming to have to close and open again. Could this (opening an unstructured file in Structured FM with a lot of structured files open) be a problem?
