I'm pretty sure FrameMaker 3.0 will work only with legacy fonts. If you like NextStep, you ought to like OS X / MacOS. It's a direct descendant and quite recognizable as such. Lots of scorewriter / music notation software. My main problem with NextStep is that I had to use the mouse for

Dear List, Klaus Daube was so friendly to pass on my question. So far I am very grateful for the feedback. It helped me formulate my question more concisely: I am looking for the two tutorials “Learning FrameMaker” and “Using FrameMaker”. Both have been published by Frame Technology in 1989.

As one of the writers who wrote the documentation for that generation of FM (Chris Despopoulos was part of that crew), I recall that most of the documentation was included on the delivery media (for NeXT, that would have been a CD). Unfortunately, I don't have (that I know of), a copy any
