Fm9.0p255: trouble in Unicode paradise

Yves,

>From a company we purchased, I inherited FrameMaker 7 files for several 
languages. 

I do not have FM7. I went from FM6  to FM9 (TCS2 actually, I am now at 
FM9.0p255). 

The European languages I inherited open fine in FM9. Their cross 
references looked great.

But, the Chinese and Japanese versions all had the character's in their 
cross references get mangled as if FM9 could not find the correct font so 
it substituted some other font. All text other than the cross references 
looks great. No font problems at all, except in the cross references.

I've not yet found a fix. It has been suggested that I get FM7,  that 
perhaps either a FM9 bug or that the new FM9 Unicode font handling  was my 
problem.

But, it seems better to me that I figure out why the Chinese and Japanese 
cross-reference problems are occurring in FM9. Right now, however, I'm 
stumped.

I am afraid that I am of no help to you, but, I do thank you for posting 
your work around. I plan to give them a try.

Thanks!
Richard
