Dear all,

Both in FM 8 and in FM 9 I habe set in maker.ini:
[Preferences]
GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=None

Save as PDF in FM-8
- colour cmyk 100/25/25/0 looks ok
- font Lucida Sans Semibold (and other bold/semibold) are used

Save as PDF in FM-9
- colour cmyk 100/25/25/0 is blueisch, rather than greenisch
- font Lucida Sans Semibold (and other bold/semibold) are not used.

Save as PDF in FM-9 with set up "Convert CMYK colours to RGB" = 
checked: -
colour cmyk 100/25/25/0 looks ok - font Lucida Sans Semibold (and other
bold/semibold) are used

What the heck has this setting to do with the fonts?
For comparison see the PDFs at

Thanks for any ideas on this.
