Nope.  My FM 7 maker.ini was last modified back in October 2009.  After 
distilling and printing one of my books, I find that it's not just a 
name change from semi to demi bold -- the font itself is different from 
what's in the previous printout of that book (and it's ugly).

Looks like I'll have to choose a new font, because it appears that the 
TCS installation has overwritten my font files.  Thanks, Adobe.
