HI All, Yes, they are imported as OLE objects. The import as PNG, or EPS is not relevant, I need to search the words. The import as PDF is cumbersome, meaning I have to redo each instance of embedded fig, and there are a lot of them.
For those who suggested a PDF fix, please note this problem is way before the PDF generation. The fonts do not show in FM, while they are fine in Visio. There must be some general fix. Thanks for your help, Orly. -----Original Message----- From: Art Campbell [mailto:art.campb...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 3:15 PM To: Orly Zimmerman Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: visio fonts don't show in FM The usual way to "embed" visio drawings in FM is to import them as OLE objects... Is that the method you're using? Also, what FM displays is actually a WMF graphic of the actual drawing, so that may be a contributing factor. A fix would be to save the Visio as a .PNG, EPS, or PDF and import that as a referenced graphic. There may also be some variation between versions of Visio....
