visio fonts don't show in FM

[Art Campbell]

Orly,

This has been a problem for many people for many years. The consensus
seems to be that the problem is a combination of Microsoft OLE
problems and, possibly, the way FM handles OLE.

The most popular solutions are saving from Visio as one of the graphic
formats I mentioned so that you can avoid OLE.
