TCS install; missing fonts

[David Spreadbury]

Stuart,
I would wager that your maker.ini, of your previous install, was modified to recognize these "missing fonts". If you still have the old installation on your system check the [WindowsToFrameFontAliases] section of the maker.ini file. Copy the section and paste it into your current version. Oh ya, always make a copy of your existing maker.ini before changing it.

Win XP SP3
FM 7.0 p579
TCS 2.0 (FM 9.0 p250)

I recently installed TCS and now when I open existing .fm files in either FM 9 or FM 7, I get missing fonts messages.  I have made no changes to my system's fonts, so I assume TCS has done so.  So far, the "missing" fonts are simply variant names of existing fonts, e.g., "can't find Lucida Bright Semi Bold, using Lucida Bright Demi Bold".  Same thing for the italic variants, etc.

I searched my hard drive for "Lucida" and find dozens of copies of these font files in Program Files subfolders called \Adobe, \Java, and \Hewlett-Packard.  (But XP's Search and Void Software's "Everything" search engine *don't* find the dozen or so entries that exist in C:\Windows\Fonts.)

I've assumed I'm safe to use the usual method to get rid of the 'missing fonts' messages, but I'd like to know what exactly happened here and why.  Anyone know?

Thanks,
