Hi Frank, I suspect Distiller is changing your Helvetica to Times New Roman when you PDF because you do not actually have the Helvetica font on your system. It is likely residing on your physical printer and Windows is making available in your Frame font menu. When you print to Adobe PDF, or save as PDF, it cannot embed a font that is not on your system. Since the default font for missing fonts is Times New Roman, that is what you see in the finished PDF. You need to make Adobe PDF your default printer in FrameMaker. Even if you had Helvetica installed on your system, the wrapping issue might persist. This is due to the difference in font metrics between Distiller and the physical printer. Each interpret font widths and letter spacing differently, causing lines to wrap unexpectedly.

The only item I can attribute this to is the fact that adobe converts all the Helvetica fonts in my FM file to Times new roman.... Does anybody have any idea : Why the change to another font? Why the mystery wrap? How to change all the fonts in every style to Arial in one fell swoop? Frank _______________________________________________
