missing fonts after changing computers;customize maker.ini file?

[Scott Penney]

I need to reset my fonts for a new computer; this is especially important for bullets and some symbols. How can I configure Frame so that it uses the fonts that it used on the old machine?

I'm using FM 7.1 on Windows XP Professional (Version 2002, Service Pack 3), and I need to restore my font settings so that FM can use Helvetica for some paragraph formats and ZapfDingbats for square bullets and other symbols. Currently ZapfDingbats is replaced by Times New Roman, Helvetica by Arial, and Times by Times Roman.

So far, I have downloaded the free Adobe Type Manager from the Abobe Website. Both Helvetica, Times, and Zapf Dingbats appear in the ATM window in the PSFONTS folder.

However, when I open a Frame document, I get the missing fonts message followed by the Framemaker Console List with the list of unavailable fonts followed by the fonts that replace them.

Furthermore, in the Family drop-down list, Default tab of the Paragraph Designer dialog box, the missing fonts appear in grey.

Some years ago, when I was using FM 6 on Windows 2000, I seem to recall changing the font settings in the maker.ini file; that recollection may be unreliable.

I tried to follow the Customizing FrameMaker manual for locating the maker.ini files and changing font profiles, but couldn't find the corresponding folders on my machine (the manual indicates UserProfile\ApplicationData\Adobe\FrameMaker\7.0).

Thanks
