Naturally, you need to have Arial installed on the machine in use and not just available via it being avaialbe on the currently selected printer.


The usual technique that Les describes is not 100% effective. For one thing, it will not change the fonts specified inside graphic objects. But there are also cases where an extraneous font specification becomes attached to an non-text object type, such as a frame on a reference page, and the "don't remember" approach apparently ignores these objects. I've had this happen myself, and the only thing that worked to get rid of the bad font specicfication was a "wash via MIF" operation: 

-Save the FM file in MIF format
-Close the original

-Open the MIF version of the file

-Do a Save As to overwrite the original FM file

Give that a try if the "don't remember" approach doesn't do the job for you.
