You can safely ignore this message. This will no longer appear in Desktop compositions in the new 5.8 version.

"Font <Swiss 721 Bold BT> normal style is not loaded, using italic style of this font family"

This is a consequence of the way FusionPro handles fonts. Because of the HTML-like markup that FusionPro uses, with <b> and <i> tags to change the "style" or "face" of a font, it's really referencing font "families" instead of individual font files. Most font families contain four styles: regular, bold, italic, and bold + italic, so any combination is valid. However, some fonts on your system may not contain all four styles, in which case FusionPro won't be able to access every possible combination. This is especially common in the case of a font with the word "bold" or "italic" in its family name. (Should there really be a font family called "Swiss 721 Bold BT", or should there be a family called something like "Swiss 721 BT" with a bold *style*? There are two schools of thought about this in digital typography. A full philosophical discussion of this is beyond the scope of this forum, however.)

So, if your output appears correctly, you can obviously consider this message as an informational warning, and ignore it. However, if you want to avoid the message entirely, you will need to either (a) modify your job to not invoke the "missing" styles of that font, (b) install all the relevant styles, or (c) use a different font with all relevant styles included.

3. Even though I am always careful to uncheck "Subset Fonts" during a compose, sometimes the composed PDF files still have "Embedded Subset" fonts. A few times my files have gone to prepress and they told me the fonts weren't embedded. Is there a better way to ensure that fonts are ALWAYS embedded?

This may be due to fonts in the background (template) document, or other PDF resources used as graphics in your job. If that's the case, there's nothing FusionPro can do about it. You'll need to make sure the existing PDFs have fonts embedded (or not) as you require.
