I just tested the fonts issue using VirtualBox.
While you can easily share folders between the Mac and your Virtual Box
machine, you still need to import fonts into Windows for them to be
active. The Mac installed fonts may not work by importing into Windows,
at least those that I tried just now didn't import.

Clearly this will lose FrameMaker's access to my font library in Classic, but I
am constrained to work with designs that use specific fonts, and I don't want
to have to buy them all over again. Most of my fonts are Ps Type 1, not
OpenType or TT.
Is there anyone who has gone through this pain who can advise me? I've got
TransType, but I've never fond its results to be very reliable, and it probably
violates font license agreements anyway. Or do Parallels or Fusion have some
sort of magic for resolving this issue?
