Because you're on XP, it'd be a good idea to install Microsoft's Hotfix for
PostScript printer issues.
It addresses a number of issues in addition to the ones listed, so in
general it would be a great idea (IMHO, of course).

I'm assuming your on WInXP. When we first started using FM9 Save As PDF,
the graphics on the first page of PDFs disappeared. We installed the

text problems, it fix our graphics problem; go figure)

I recently installed TCS and now when I open existing .fm files in

changes to my system's fonts, so I assume TCS has done so. So far, the
missing fonts are simply variant names of

I would wager that your maker.ini, of your previous install, was modified to
recognize these missing fonts. If you still have the old installation on your

If you're not using the Adobe PDF printer as your system default and you are
using another physical printer, it's possible for the OS to latch on to
those fonts, although they're not installed ont he system... which would
explain why you can't find the files.

Good question. I have seen the same error in Frame 7.2 occasionally
when generating on-line help using WebWorks ePublisher, probably
during the printing/rasterization stage.
It indicates Frame is trying to close during the operation. In my case
it is not reproducible (doesn't happen very often).

and back end. Can you explain?
