Font problem with Windows 7

[boenat at gedok.com]

Hello, Framers,

I'm using Framemaker 8 and 9 (all Patches 
applied) under Windows inside Parallels on the 
Mac. A client wants us now to transfer his 
manuals into chinese. With Framemaker under 
Windows XP (SP3) it was nearly impossible to get 
the chinese characters into Framemaker, although 
they were shown correctly in Word or Wordpad. 
Interestingly it did function for only two 
minutes after installing all language packs in 
Windows XP, but than Framemaker stubbornly 
quitted the cooperation...

So I've installed the two Framemaker versions 
inside Windows 7 Ultimate Edition and from now on 
it was possible, to get the chinese characters 
into Framemaker.

But now I have problems with other fonts. One 
client uses Frutiger LT Com fonts in his manuals, 
so I've installed this family also in Windows 7. 
But Framemaker reports most of the fonts in this 
font family as missing now, although Windows 7 
shows them all as installed.

After working for more than 10 years with 
Framemaker on the mac I can really get furious 
with Windows! Why the f*** is Framemaker not able 
to find the fonts? Some of the font variants were 
found by Framemaker, some not. A first try was 
than to copy the whole font family into every 
font directory inside Windows that I could find, 
but this resolved not the problems...

I've searched the internet and the Framemaker 
Database but was not able to find anything 
helpful.

Does anyone out there has a (hopefully easy) solution?

Thanks in advance,

André
