FM9 - Replace Font option
I just discovered that FM 9 has a 'replace font' option or Pod. Using this option, a (missing) font can be replaced. From what I read on the Adobe web site it should be a replacement for the former maker.ini modifications as used for FM up to FM8, to (temporarely) replace a non available font. But as the maker.ini modification only virtually replaces a font, it seems that this 'replace font' option definitely replaces the font - it changes the character and paragraph formats and these are saved when saving the file. Any one knows if this is by design, is it a 'bug' or is there a not yet documented escape after replacing the fonts?

Actually, the font mappings in maker.ini replace fonts permanently if, in File Preferences General, Remember Missing Font Names is turned off. And it seems to me that that escape from replacing a font is to replace it again with the previous font. :-) Richard Richard G.
