RE: The Zapfdingbats Font Family is not available. (Was: Updating older versions of Adobe fonts? Slightly off-topic, but related in a way!)
To be very clear, Adobe has not shipped a copy of Zapf Dingbats with FrameMaker since FrameMaker 5.5.6 if I recall correctly. However, in fact, every printer with Adobe PostScript 3 still ships with a host-installable Type 1 (both for Windows and Macintosh) versions of Zapf Dingbats. The real issue appears to be not whether Adobe ships this font under what circumstances, but rather, whether the users install the font (assuming they have use of an Adobe PostScript 3 device) and a likely bug/omission in FrameMaker by which a font substitution is made without making a character remapping to Unicode at the same time. - Dov [cid:image001.png@01CDF919.2249C150] Dov Isaacs Principal Scientist Adobe Systems Incorporated +1 408.536.2896 (tel) +1 408.242.5161 (cell) isa...@adobe.commailto:isa...@adobe.com 345 Park Avenue San Jose, CA 95110-2704 USA http://www.adobe.comhttp://www.adobe.com/ Feel free to print this e-mail if your needs dictate hard copy.

Can't import Object styles
Framemaker 11.0.1.382 I'm experimenting with the new Object Styles feature. I've determined that I can create a new object style but I can't import it into other files as I can do with paragraph and character styles via File-Import-Formats. Object Styles isn't a listed option, despite what Adobe says on their Help page at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS92ce23f8a8bab2f36a80c197137323b2fd7-7ffc.html Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone know how to do this other than recreating the style manually in every file? And speaking of File-Import-Formats, in Frame 9, by default all formats were selected and you could click the Deselect All button. In Frame 11, even though all formats are selected by default, the available button is Select All (although it does seem dependent on what had been selected when the window was previously used). The only way to deselect all is to click the button twice. Can anyone else reproduce this behavior? Does anyone know how to dock the Object Designer alongside the Paragraph Design and Character Designer pod/panels? It doesn't seem to be dockable. Carol ** Carol J.

Re: Finding overrides in Framemaker files
TVB, Have you tried using one of eP's other outputs (e.g., WebWorks Help 5) and using the Styles report from that to chase your FM overrides? jjj On 24/01/2013 4:00 AM, framers-requ...@lists.frameusers.com wrote: Framemaker 10, all patched, Win 7, 64 bit. I have a Framemaker book that contains 8 chapter files. I know that overrides to paragraph styles in a file are marked with an asterisk in the Information Bar at the bottom of the file. I am producing OLH for a client using a 15 year old technology (Sun JavaHelp) and I don't have an option to change that right now. In the tool that I use, ePublisher, reports are generated including a Styles report that specifically lists all paragraph tags that have an override to them. This report, however, is not available for a Sun JavaHelp output for many reasons but I still need to be able to find overrides in the Framemaker source files.

You are correct, that's just what it was--Times instances in the default tables. (I did the mif to find this out; there are no tables in the document itself.)

Which fonts are unavailable (listed in the Console window). The most likely suspect is a paragraph in the default instance of a table format. For a new file not based on a template you've created, there are probably only two: Format A and Format B. Insert an instance of each table format (with a heading, body, and footing row) and check the paragraphs in those. If you find the problem, change the paragraph formats (or redefine them to use the correct font). Then, in the Table Designer dialog box, click Update All. That will update the default for that table format to use the changed paragraph formats. HTH! Richard G.

You are correct, that's just what it was--Times instances in the default tables. (I did the mif to find this out; there are no tables in the document itself.) I already thought I'd have to do what you say... How annoying that I have to do this extra work to undo a presumptuous default. Forgive my annoyance; I'm so lucky the listers are here to help!

FM 11 crashing consistently on Save Ditamap As > PDF
Over the last few days I'm running into FM11 crashing every time I try to use the Save Ditamap As > PDF option. It also crashes when I try to save the ditamap as a composite document. I've sent a handful of the many error log files generated to fmerror at adobe.com so they are aware of the problem. Is anybody else seeing this? My co-workers "virgin" installation of FM11 does the same thing when trying to save the same ditamap to PDF. Thanks. Craig -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Can't import Object styles
Hello Carol I'm using FM 11.0.1.382 as well. When I do File > Import > Formats I see an option for Object Styles at the bottom right of the list. All the options are selected initially, and the button says Deselect All. Not quite sure what you mean by "dock the Object Designer". In my experience the OD only opens when you right-click an object and choose Object Properties. Then you have to close it before you can do anything else. HTH.

Can't import Object styles
I have the same FM version you do, and I see the Object Styles as the last item in the second column of the Import Formats dialog. Mine comes up with all formats selected.

Unavailable Fonts error
Have you tried saving as .mif and searching for that font?
