For anyone still using FrameMaker 7 on Mac, the 'custom' file that sets the

It sounds like there's something in your topics (or map) that FM doesn't
like. I'd start by pruning the set of files down to locate the problem.
Have these files been authored in FM or another XML editor? It's
possible that you're using DITA elements or features in a way that FM
doesn't suppor

Hmm, sounds more like file corruption than DITA-related. Can you make a copy of

Save your ditamap as FM binary files, then save to PDF. Works every time for me.

Hi Karen
The other option is to save the file as MIF, open it in a text editor and look
for fonts. MIFs are pretty human-readable.
