There's never been a "Times Font" bug that I'm aware of, and I can't find any reference to one at Microtype's list of bugs and issues (http://www.microtype.com/FM_bugs.html). Are you referring to the fact that FM's templates use a font named Times, while your Windows PC ships with Microsoft's TrueType semi-equivalent, Times New Roman? They aren't the same font. It would be nice if FM had more user-friendly ways to resolve such issues than editing the Fonts section of maker.ini, but the existing behavior certainly isn't a bug. It's not really a problem either, if you know how to deal with it. The mapping from Times to Times New Roman is already present in your default maker.ini. So, if you turn off Remember Missing Font Names (in File > Preferences), you'll only get the missing font warning one more time for each doc using Times. FM will permanently replace it with Times New Roman when you save. If you need to open FM files from others who use fonts you don't have, you'll want to turn Remember Missing Font Names back on so that you don't mess up their files. HTH! Richard -- Richard G.

"Times Font" - fixed in FM 8.0?
Hello fellow Frame users, I have a question for those of you who are using the new FrameMaker 8.0 version: Has Adobe finally gotten around to fixing that blasted "Times Font" problem? You know, the one where FrameMaker looks in vain for the "Times font", and it will tell you that you don't have it - even when it's on your PC? This issue has caused me more problems through the years, and I'll readily go out and upgrade to 8.0 - provided that Adobe has finally fixed this issue. Have any other bug fixes been solved with 8.0? -Brad Simmons ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
