default fonts in Framemaker 6

[patrick scully]

Thank you very much for your help.

Editing the custom document seems to work. It is 
rather tedious, however, to have to remove all 
the paragraph and character formats. Otherwise 
these will be brought over into the new document 
when you create it -- even if you never actually use a tag with TNR in it.

Commercial printers who do "pre-flight" before 
printing will "find" TNR etc even if it is not 
actually used for any printed 
character.  Unfortunately, FM's search and 
replace for font occurrences is not very good. I 
have found that even graphics (such as imported 
Tif files) seem to have some font characteristics.

On the other issue about Distiller not liking 
truetype fonts. I think I now see where the 
problem lies. At some stage in the 
FM-Postscript-PDF process, TNR (truetype) is 
replaced by Times (type 1), and as this font is 
not available to Distiller for embedding (it is 
available only as a resident font on my 
postscript printer), Distiller crashes the 
process. The solution is probably to modify the 
default Press quality Distiller settings (embed TNR)

The biggest problem I have with Framemaker is 
finding the occurrences of TNR that  (eventually) lead to this crash.
