RE: Missing font in FM although it shows fine in Word? - Global change?
As a follow-on to this topic, our proper solution would probably be to update all the relevant paragraph formats in all the templates to use Minion Pro rather than Minion Web. I don't suppose anyone would know of a quick way to do this en masse? I have ways to remap formats to new formats using a plugin from Silicon Prairie (Paragraph conversion) or a script from Rick Quatro (FindChangeFormatsBatch.fsl), but I don't know of a way to just change the font family in a list of paragraph formats. Any recommendations/ideas?? Rene Combs, Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The Minion Pro family has both bold and semibold italic faces. Minion Web is based on that, just optimized for on-line use -- thicker serifs and some line weights. A boldface would benefit less from such optimization (which may explain why it's not included), so you should be able to use one of the Minion Pro faces just fine. You may even be able to map it in maker.ini (if you're on Windows) so that your existing char format works. HTH! Richard -- Richard G.

I only know of one shortcut way of creating all the pgf instances: Enhance (www.sandybrook.com/enhance) has a Generate Format Samples command that does exactly that. I think you can download a free trial. But are you sure that's the proper solution? If you're delivering web content, the Minion Web regular, and especially italic, faces will be easier to read than the Pro versions. Richard -- Richard G.

That's a valid point. We're delivering content as PDF primarily. Most of our users like to have the docs available as soft copies but prefer to work from printed copies, sometimes only printing pages relevant to their current task or an unfamiliar task. The web content that we deliver is created with WWP Pro, so it would use the fonts specified in the associated WWP template, regardless of what we change in the FM templates, because we don't use pass-through formatting anywhere. I guess I'll try the Global Update route for now. Thanks for the tip about Generate Format Samples. In conjunction with Generate Paragraph Tag Report (SP), this tool will also serve as a quick way to get the necessary information for updating our Standards Styles Guide. ;-) I'll submit that purchase req!
