Schlomo, I think I'm missing something or doing it wrong. I'm attaching an
updated Sample.FM.? I changed the font family for Italic char tag to
HelveticaNeueLT Std Cn, since that's the most similar font to Arial Narrow
that? I have installed on this PC. It shows fine in the variable definition,
but when the variable is used in the heading, and then the heading text is
xref'd via <$paratext>, it is still not picking up the angle. I don't
understand why it works for you, but I'm not getting the desired result. Is it
a bug in my FM file or something?
{Aside: It seems to me that either Adobe might want to consider adding another
building block that does include the character formats applied to text for
cross-references, so that writers have the choice of which standard to follow;
or perhaps this is a limitation that doesn't exist in FM 10?}
Thanks,
Rene
