Getting Rid of Font Change Warning

[Ian Hawkins]

SetPrint changes the default FrameMaker printer. You can always change 
it manually in FrameMaker, just as you would if you didn't have SetPrint.

The FrameMaker File > Print Setup only changes the FrameMaker printer 
for your current FrameMaker session. SetPrint sets it at the start of 
every FrameMaker session.

Personally, I prefer to always print to PDF first, which is one of the 
reasons I wrote SetPrint. I have found that FrameMaker output looks best 
when you create a PDF. This is especially important if you use embedded 
EPS graphics, for example.
