Best solution is to specify the Adobe PDF printer as your default. You
can do it at the system level or with a SetPrint script from
http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm
If you're already doing that, though, I'd bet on David's supposition....

Another thing you want to be aware of, although I don't think it's an
issue in this is that you're going to have to check and see if your
existing fonts offer Unicode support; FM 7 didn't support Unicode, but
FM 9 does. Trying to roll old non-unicode font files forward may be
problematic....
Hi Art,
I installed Setprint immediately after installing TCS 2, and always have
Adobe PDF as my default in FM. Your point about Unicode is valid; I
don't think my old Lucida was a Unicode font. Now that TCS has
obliterated it, I will have to choose a different font anyway, since the
'new' Lucida is badly kerned and ugly. Very rude of Adobe to trample my
system like that, though.
Thanks to you and David for your input.

I recently installed TCS and now when I open existing .fm files in
either FM 9 or FM 7, I get missing fonts messages. I have made no
changes to my system's fonts, so I assume TCS has done so. So far,
the "missing" fonts are simply variant names of existing fonts,
e.g., "can't find Lucida Bright Semi Bold, using Lucida Bright Demi
Bold". Same thing for the italic variants, etc.
I searched my hard drive for "Lucida" and find dozens of copies of
these font files in Program Files subfolders called \Adobe, \Java,
and \Hewlett-Packard. (But XP's Search and Void Software's
"Everything" search engine *don't* find the dozen or so entries that
exist in C:\Windows\Fonts.)
I've assumed I'm safe to use the usual method to get rid of the
'missing fonts' messages, but I'd like to know what exactly happened
here and why. Anyone know?
Thanks,
