How to find "Unavailable Fonts"

[Syed.Hosain at aeris.net]

Hmmm ... now the console is telling me:

The "Arial" Font is not available.
  "Arial" will be used in this session.
The "Arial" Font is not available.
  "Arial" will be used in this session.
The "Arial" Font is not available.
  "Arial" will be used in this session.
The "Arial" Font is not available.
  "Arial" will be used in this session.

Huhn?!? I know I have Arial, of course ... and if this font were not
available to begin with, how could FM 8 say "will be used in this
session"?

So the above is quite confusing to me now.

A MIF wash did not solve anything, turning off the 'missing font ...' in
the Preferences is not allowing me to come back and re-edit the file
without the error.

What am I doing wrong?

I forgot to mention that I already have the fonts in the families listed
below - all of them are on my computer!

Hi, all.

I am getting stumped with something I thought would be simple (has been
so in the past).

A contact sent me a book (in FM 7 format) that I am attempting to read
into FM 8 ... to fix a page numbering and contents/index problem.

Whenever I open two of the files in the book, I get an "Unavailable
font" message on the console (saying that ArialMT is not available and
Arial will be used in its place - this is after I tell it to read in the
file and substitue).

So, I do so, and then save the file ... but it happens again on the very
next file open! Of course, I am unable to regen the contents and index
pages since "a font is unavailable".

I saved those two files in MIF format and searched for "FFamily" and
only see the following unique entries for font familes:

<FFamily `Arial'>
<FFamily `AvantGarde'>
<FFamily `Courier'>
<FFamily `Courier New'>
<FFamily `Helvetica'>
<FFamily `Palatino'>
<FFamily `Tahoma'>
<FFamily `Times'>
<FFamily `Times New Roman'>
<FFamily `ZapfDingbats'>

The MIF file does not even have the ArialMT entry to fix permanently!

What am I overlooking and how do I solve this issue?

Thanks,

Z
