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

[Kanti.Mann at schange.com]

I never thanked all for their help.  Just recently, I read the article 
from Kevin Siegel's Weekly Skills and Drills about NOT remembering fonts. 
When I opened the docs with that setting, and saved them, and reset the DO 
remember fonts, Frame conveniently forgot all about the missing items.

More details, as requested by Dov, would be extremely helpful.  In the 
meantime:  do all of your installations have the Adobe PDF printer 
driver set as default, or do some of them have a physical printer set as 
default?  Physical printers' drivers often report their resident fonts 
to the operating system, which then treats them as though they are 
locally installed.  That can cause font errors in FM.
