Hello, Framers, I'm using Framemaker 8 and 9 (all Patches applied) under Windows inside Parallels on the Mac. A client wants us now to transfer his manuals into chinese. With Framemaker under Windows XP (SP3) it was nearly impossible to get the chinese characters into Framemaker, although they were shown correctly in Word or Wordpad. Interestingly it did function for only two minutes after installing all language packs in Windows XP, but than Framemaker stubbornly quitted the cooperation...
So I've installed the two Framemaker versions inside Windows 7 Ultimate Edition and from now on it was possible, to get the chinese characters into Framemaker. But now I have problems with other fonts. One client uses Frutiger LT Com fonts in his manuals, so I've installed this family also in Windows 7. But Framemaker reports most of the fonts in this font family as missing now, although Windows 7 shows them all as installed. After working for more than 10 years with Framemaker on the mac I can really get furious with Windows! Why the f*** is Framemaker not able to find the fonts? Some of the font variants were found by Framemaker, some not. A first try was than to copy the whole font family into every font directory inside Windows that I could find, but this resolved not the problems... I've searched the internet and the Framemaker Database but was not able to find anything helpful. Does anyone out there has a (hopefully easy) solution? Thanks in advance, Andr? -- Mit freundlichen Gr??en, Andr? B?nat GeDok Kurztusch e.K.
