John,
Some options have to be chosen in the Publication Centre itself and not
from the individual Reports.
It looks to me as if Fonts is one of these as you'll find a Fonts button
on the Options tab of the Publication Centre. This is also where you set
the Margins for your Book.

Hi Chap,
Thank you for replying. It appears there is a glitch in the system-
maybe since the latest version of Legacy which is what I am using.
The steps that you mentioned are what I have been doing. At step 6,
when I click on Report Fonts my custom fonts are shown. When however,
I close the windows until I am back in Publication Center then preview
the chapters, they are displayed with Legacy default fonts.
This is not a problem while out of Publication Center and previewing
individual reports via toolbar buttons- all custom fonts are displayed.
To me it appears that there is “broken connection” between my custom
fonts file and the Publication Center.
The book that I am preparing will be the same dimensions as yours (8
1/2 X 11 hardback) and probably about the same thickness. May I ask
whether Legacy’s default margins are suitable for printers/ publishers
or should the left margin be widened to allow for binding of the book etc?

John:
In the Publication center, you have access to and can change the fonts
for each chapter of the report.
Let's say you have the 1st chapter as a Multiple Lines of Descendant
Book Report and the 2nd Chapter as an Ancestor Chart for xxx.
1. Go to Reports > Publication Center.
2. Click / highlight Chapter 1 - Multiple Lines of Descendant Book
3. At bottom of window, click Edit Settings for Current Chapter
4. In this window, at bottom, click Report Options
5. In this new window, click Format Tab at top
6. At far right, Click Report Fonts
This is where you change specific fonts for each area of the report.
Make your changes and close each window until you are back to the
Publication Center window. These steps set up the Multiple lines of
Descendant Chapters.
For the 2nd Chapter, Ancestor Chart, follow the same steps above and
set the fonts displayed/printed.
Repeat for each chapter you have in the Publication Center Reports.
I just recently published an 8 1/2 X 11 hardback covered book that had
36 Chapters and was 535 pages long or about 1" thick book.
You will need do many Previews and create a PDFs to make sure
everything is OK before sending to any printer.
Good luck.
Chap

I tried the Reset button but still have the same problem. I have
been spending a great deal of time playing with settings etc. but
nothing seems to work.
Also, I still cannot find the “Change” button mentioned in the
Help section- maybe it would help.

John,
The options in Options > Customize > Master Report Fonts don't
take effect until you click on the Reset button in the Report
Fonts window for each report.
That's not explained in the Help topic for Customize - Fonts. I'll
ask the programmer to add that.
Sincerely,

Either I am confused or there are technical problems with Legacy.
I saved a set of selected fonts via Customise- “Master Report
Fonts (gbl)”. I loaded them into various reports. The custom
fonts however only display in reports when opened via the
relevant toolbar buttons. The custom fonts never work in the
same reports when opened in the Publication Center- even when
I reload them while in the Publication Center.
Related side matter- while trying to solve the above problem,
I noticed in the Help section, mention of a “Change” button
but I cannot find it anywhere.
