We have a translation vendor and are well on our way to starting our first prototypes. Our first issue is that we want to have some of the versions on A4 PDF/paper size, but we have no idea what is involved. Our FM templates are set up for 8.5x11. We are wondering if we need to make a duplicate set of FM templates--and we *really* don't want to do that. Anyone done this before? Apologies if this has been answered previously. I looked through the archive, but didn't find anything.

Re: Missing Fonts
Here's a nice reply from someone else: -- Regards, Shmuel Wolfson 052-763-7133 --- Missing fonts can lurk in lots of unexpected places that cannot be found with a simple Find operation. For example, Find only searches the current view--typically the body pages. To search the master pages and the reference pages, you have to switch to each of those views before initiating the Find. The font(s) may also be specified in paragraph formats or character formats that you don't actually use in the document. And then there are the obscure places, like embedded graphics (no way to search those) and in table formats (one must remember that each table format embeds the formatting of the title and of each cell in the heading row, footing row, table title, and first body row, even if those formats are no longer defined in the paragraph catalog or character catalog. When you open a file that has missing fonts, the substitution normally only applies to the screen display--the original font specifications remain intact in the file itself when you close or save the file. But there *is* an option in the Preferences dialog that changes this behavior. It's called Remember missing font names and it is turned on by default because it is normally a very good feature (particularly if you are working on files that have to move back and forth among Windows and UNIX or Mac platforms). If you disable that option before opening a file with missing fonts, FrameMaker will display a different message upon opening, one that ask you to confirm that you wish to make a permanent font substitution. If you confirm and open the file, the file's format definitions will be updated as necessary, and if you then save the file you make those substitutions permanent. When you're don, remember to turn the Remember... preference back on, because it really ius a good thing. But you should note that this process may or may not make the substitution in each and every place where a font may lurk. In some cases, the only way of completely eliminating a missing font is to save the document as MIF and do a Find/Change for the missing font name(s) in the MIF file, which is in a text rather than binary format. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
