I've never experienced this first-hand because all the FrameMaker users 
I deal with around the world are on the Mac, but I understand that the 
fonts must be of the exact same type and from the exact same foundry, 
and even then there may be differences with extended characters. 
OpenType is supposed to eliminate this kind of cross-platform issue.
