TCS install; missing fonts

[Art Campbell]

If you're not using the Adobe PDF printer as your system default and you are
using another physical printer, it's possible for the OS to latch on to
those fonts, although they're not installed ont he system... which would
explain why you can't find the files.

Best solution is to specify the Adobe PDF printer as your default. You can
do it at the system level or with a SetPrint script from
http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm

If you're already doing that, though, I'd bet on David's supposition....

***
Another thing you want to be aware of, although I don't think it's an issue
in this is that you're going to have to check and see if your existing fonts
offer Unicode support; FM 7 didn't support Unicode, but FM 9 does. Trying to
roll old non-unicode font files forward may be problematic....
