Steve,
   You haven't told us what operations you are performing that cause FM to 
use the unwanted fonts, but the software does not rely on any particular 
fonts. There are, however, a few configuration files that may be causing 
whatever symptoms are annoying you. For example, on Windows, there's a 
folder called fminit within your main FM directory (usually, c:\Program 
Files\Adobe\FrameMaker 7.x). In the fminit folder, there's a file called 
custom that is the basis for new blank paper documents (including Portrait 
and Landscape). FM won't let you open this file, but you can rename it, 
edit it, save it, and then change the name back to the original name. 
Changes you can make include changing all fonts that you don't want to use. 
Of course, it's wise to backup all configuration files before you edit them.
