Hi Isabelle, I recently made an amazing discovery regarding elusive, unavailable fonts:
If you copy and paste non-Frame, non-HTML information into your (unstructured, 7.2) Frame document, the information is copied into a text frame. In my documents, and perhaps in yours, the font specified is Times New Roman, which isn't in my font repertoire. Hence the unavailable fonts. Of course we are supposed to import text from Word and the like, but sometimes I want to take a shortcut and paste in Word snippets to rewrite. More heinous, now that my Outlook has been updated to 2007, I find that text snippets from HTML (or even RTF) emails, which I often would copy and use verbatim, can no longer be pasted directly into Frame, but cause the same problem. The work around for the text snippets, to avoid those awful unavailable font popups, is to open an HTML editor such as Dreamweaver, paste to an HTML file, deselect and reselect the text, copy and paste into Frame. (I used to used Outlook 2003 to do this sometimes, but even this pleasure is now denied me.) The only work-around I've found to get rid of these unavailable fonts is to use the Remember Missing Font Names option under File>Preferences>General. You may have to save, close, reselect or deselect, then perform the procedure again a few times before the problem is solved.

I'm running Windows XP (SP2), using unstructured FrameMaker 7.2. Even though I've checked all the paragraph and character tags for stray fonts and have generated a list of fonts for each file, I get a "Document named xxx uses unavailable fonts..." message. The console displays a font that I know is nowhere in my documents, so how do I get rid of this pop-up? The more important issue is that because the documents are reformated on opening because of substitution of fonts, I get unresolved cross-references alerts on good refs every time I reopen saved files. .*********************** _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [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.
