RE: Problem with MML Import SOLVED
Hi Framers, A little fussing with the MML file itself was the answer. The MML file is like a combination script and style sheet that converts the plain-text data into my paragraph tag styles. I had to enter new paragraph tag names in the MML file, making sure they matched the paragraph tags in the template document. Yes, they should have been the same as always, but something got messed up. It's all better now. Thanks for all your ideas and help.

Problem with MML Import
Hi Framers, I have a download (.txt file) that I regularly import into an FM (11.0.2.384) template file using an MML script. (By template I mean a regular .fm file that I keep to reuse for this purpose.) The text imports as an inset with all the correct paragraph tags and styles applied; I convert the inset to live text so I can edit and proceed from there. My process hasn't changed in years. I've had FM11 for a couple of years now, so that hasn't changed either (updates may have been applied). With today's import, the text appears in FM's default Times New Roman 12 pt font instead of the specified paragraph tags' HelveticaNeueLT Std 9 pt. I can correct this with various tools, but it's a darn waste of time when I'm on deadline! Why would the font change to the default in the first place? It never did before.

Re: Problem with MML Import
Hmm... I usually work at one office but sometimes work at another (with different printers). I've performed this task from both locations but no apparent difference in behavior until now. BTW, I also work in a Parallels virtual Windows 7 environment. At 12:57 PM -0700 5/28/14, Robert Lauriston wrote: Changing the printer can cause FM to substitute fonts even if they're installed.

Re: Problem with MML Import
Are the fonts resident on the printer? Are you using the correct printer driver? Alan On 29/05/14 8:04 AM, Karen Robbins wrote: Hmm...

Re: Problem with MML Import
Setting the printer to Adobe PDF made no difference. In a related document that imports different downloaded data but uses the same MML to handle it (and the same set of paragraph tags), one paragraph tag was misinterpreted but the others are correct.
