why am I having missing fonts in FM8, and how to correct?

[Dov Isaacs]

FrameMaker 8 continues to support use of Type 1 fonts (I assume that is
what you mean by "PS fonts") as well as TrueType and OpenType fonts. The
character set of the Type 1 fonts are mapped into Unicode.

You don't say what type of "font errors" you are getting (missing fonts?
mismapped characters? What?). If you provide some specific information
including the exact font names, source of such fonts, etc. and perhaps
a sample document, we could perhaps better analyze the problem you are
experiencing and offer some assistance.
