Christopher,

I use FusionPro Server on a daily basis for all of my templates. It does
not matter if you turn sub-setting on or off for this process to work. The
problem that you are having is that you are designing on one system and
then compiling the output on a totally different system - and the Server
box can't see the fonts from your original system. If you are designing on
a PC then you have two choices to solve this problem. If you are designing
on a Mac you only have one.

Choice One (PC Only) - You can always load the necessary fonts onto you
FusionPro Server box as you need them. Then when FusionPro composes your
final output file, all the fonts that you need are there and will properly
load into your file. One big drawback of this method is that many fonts
come in different "flavors" - even within the same font family itself.
Therefore, this is not the method that I propose that you do.

Choice Two (Mac and PC) - After you have built your template and compiled
it in your Desktop version of FusionPro to test if it works, "resave" your
PDF template (resave - not just save, as this will clear out any
extraneous junk from your template) and then perform a "collection" within
FusionPro. In Acrobat, pull down the FusionPro menu and select "Collect"
(it's about half way down the list). A second menu window appears. You
then select "fonts" by checking off the box to the left. If you have
paragraph styles with other font definitions or you use tagged resources
in your data files, then select the sub-box below this as well. I usually
create a .zip file by selecting the bottom box and giving a location to
save the file. The .zip file that is created contains copies of the
following: your template, the .dif and .def associated files, a temporary
.cfg file, an imposition .fpi file if you used one, any text or graphic
resource files used in the template (if you selected this option in the
collect menu), and a file called Assets.dat.

As long as this Asset.dat file is in the same sub-directory as your
template and is "visible" by FusionPro Server, FusionPro Server will pull
any font information (Mac or PC) from this in a useable form. This is
great for Mac users that most times cannot load their Mac fonts into a PC
based server box, or for Graphic companies whose standard operating
procedures include rules such as "ONLY use the customer fonts whenever
possible".

After using this you (or you network administrator) will probably want to
clean out all but the few necessary PC system fonts off of your FusionPro
Server box. This will clear out memory and make your Server box run a bit
faster.

Good Luck, and HTH...
