I did something similar to this a while ago. I wanted to fool framemaker into thinking a font family CourierItalic existed, so that it would preserve the italics in cross-references. To do that I added the following line to the [WindowsToFrameFontAliases] section of maker.ini
Courier, Italic, *=CourierItalic, Oblique, *, Regular If you do this, be aware that it removes the italics option from your chosen font - in your case, any time you wanted italics Verdana, you would have to use the "new" font. And every writer in your group has to use the same change or you get font errors when you open each other's files. And it's likely to confuse anyone who replaces you. A Framescript might be a better option. Cheers, Rebecca >>> "Jeremy H.

That's probably the consensus. But, IIRC, there *is* a workaround for your specific case. You can't use a char format (for the reasons everyone has mentioned), and any char formatting overrides are not preserved in the TOC. But *font* changes are. So if you specify an Italic font as an override in your title, like VerdanaItalic, rather than setting the format to italic, you may get what you want. You may also need to add a setting in maker.ini for [Fonts] and/or [WindowsToFrameFontAliases], which may be more trouble than it's worth to you. I don't recall just how that setting needs to be, but maybe someone else here does. I have *not* tested this... ;-) -- Jeremy H.
