Changing fonts

[Korth, Deanna]

My company's FrameMaker document templates use Garamond for many of our
paragraph formats. In older .pdf files the font is ITC Garamond and the
documents look nice, but in new documents the font is True Type Garamond
and the text, especially italics, is difficult to read. After much
research I've discovered that the ITC Garamond font in the older .pdf
files was from the Type On Call promotional CD, and the unlocking key
for the CD was lost when former employees moved on. 

I'd like to switch back to ITC Garamond, and my company is willing to
purchase the font family. But before we spend the $195, we want to
understand the real-world implications of installing ITC Garamond. 

If I remove the True Type Garamond fonts from the Fonts folder in
Windows and install ITC Garamond, will FrameMaker automatically use ITC
Garamond? 

Will Windows cause us problems going forward by putting the True Type
Garamond font back without our knowledge? 

Is there anything else I need to consider? 

Is there a Fonts for Dummies book/hyperlink you can suggest that will
help me grasp this? 

I'm using unstructured FrameMaker 7.2 and Windows XP Professional. 

By the way, I know that I could just switch fonts, but am trying to
avoid the work of manually changing the paragraph formats. 

Thanks, 

Deanna Korth
