Hi Linda, For some reason, the OpenType fonts bundled with FrameMaker 8, including Adobe Garamond Pro, reside in C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker8\fminit\fonts\adobe\ which, in addition to making them not available to non-Adobe programs such as Office, also means that Distiller can't find them. To fix this, go to Distiller > Settings > Font Location, and add the above font location. That's what I had to do to get the bundled Minion Pro and Myriad Pro to embed. Paul
