Hi, It is possible that FM and Acrobat are getting confused. Have you tried the following with the Adobe PDF printer set as your default printer:
1) Uninstalling the Type 1 version of the font in all its flavors. Checking ATM and your fonts folder, etc., to make sure it's not there any more. 2) Installing the OTF version of the font in all its forms and glory. 3) Going through your FrameMaker tags and making sure that the call to the font is not greyed out. For example, if FM calls the type 1 font, you removed it, then FM should still make the call to the unavailable font. If so, fix the FrameMaker tags. Ultimately, you **are** actually changing fonts, even if their screen name remains the same the fonts change. 4) Is this OTF part of a 3,000 freebie font pack from Corel? Hehe. Acrobat has no issues with OTF. FrameMaker cannot use the upper character ranges of OTFs, which is irrelevant to the issue at hand. Does that help? Cheers, Sean -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zinnia Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 2:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TCP] Opentype Fonts and Acrobat 7.0 Pro Our corporate font has changed to ITC Franklin Gothic, and I'm in the process of amending my FrameMaker templates accordingly. I have this font in both Opentype and Type 1 formats. It is preferred that I use the Opentype version. However, when I convert the FM doc to PDF using the Save As function and selecting PDF as the format, Acrobat can't deal with the Opentype characters. I get garbage or nothing at all. However, if I print to a PS file and THEN distill it, it works just fine. Is there some setting I'm unaware of in Acrobat I need to configure so it will work with Opentype using the easier method of producing a PDF? I did a search in the Adobe knowledge base and didn't find anything useful. If I have to, I'll use my Type 1 version of this font, but I'd prefer to stick with the company's version and not have to redo my new template.
