FM crashing upon attempt to create PDF - 3Qs

[Ed.]

I've been having this problem for years in FM 7.2. My solution seemed to be
removing from my templates a corrupt Myriad Pro family of fonts. It pains
me, because I absolutely love this typeface, and have pretty much made it
"mine". 

It took me several tries and search-and-replacing in MIF files to completely
eradicate it, but it seems like it's working. I switched to Helvetica Neue
Pro, which is much less beautiful a face than Myriad, but I can live with
it.

One of a million possible scenarios, I'm sure. 

Hope this helps,
-=Ed.
