Hmmm ... now the console is telling me: The "Arial" Font is not available. "Arial" will be used in this session. The "Arial" Font is not available. "Arial" will be used in this session. The "Arial" Font is not available. "Arial" will be used in this session. The "Arial" Font is not available. "Arial" will be used in this session.
Huhn?!? I know I have Arial, of course ... and if this font were not available to begin with, how could FM 8 say "will be used in this session"? So the above is quite confusing to me now. A MIF wash did not solve anything, turning off the 'missing font ...' in the Preferences is not allowing me to come back and re-edit the file without the error. What am I doing wrong?

I am getting stumped with something I thought would be simple (has been so in the past). A contact sent me a book (in FM 7 format) that I am attempting to read into FM 8 ... to fix a page numbering and contents/index problem. Whenever I open two of the files in the book, I get an "Unavailable font" message on the console (saying that ArialMT is not available and Arial will be used in its place - this is after I tell it to read in the file and substitue). So, I do so, and then save the file ... but it happens again on the very next file open! Of course, I am unable to regen the contents and index pages since "a font is unavailable". I saved those two files in MIF format and searched for "FFamily" and only see the following unique entries for font familes: <FFamily `Arial'> <FFamily `AvantGarde'> <FFamily `Courier'> <FFamily `Courier New'> <FFamily `Helvetica'> <FFamily `Palatino'> <FFamily `Tahoma'> <FFamily `Times'> <FFamily `Times New Roman'> <FFamily `ZapfDingbats'> The MIF file does not even have the ArialMT entry to fix permanently! What am I overlooking and how do I solve this issue? Thanks, Z _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as Syed.Hosain at aeris.net.
