Font Fiasco with FM 9 Book and Distiller

[Syed Zaeem Hosain (Syed.Hosain@aeris.net)]

I think (but not sure) you are seeing that "Font Cache" XP Pro problem that is resolved with a particular Microsoft hotfix. The specific hotfix number has been posted to this news list before - maybe you can search the archives for it.

Subject: Font Fiasco with FM 9 Book and Distiller

Hi, all,
 
I'm trying to get a book out on deadline, hitting a wall tonight, will have to revisit first thing in a.m.
 
Set-up:
FM 9.0 p255
Win XP Pro Ver 2002 SP3
Core 2 Duo E6750, 2.66 GH, 3.25 GB of RAM (according to System
Properties)
Default font:Arial
 
Here's the sequence of trouble:
 

*	Went to print book; Distiller stopped on pg. 10-11, in the Front
Matter; said it couldn't find Helvetica; font could not be embedded, and flushed out.
*	Washed all Files via MIF. Using Toolbox, I stripped out all
unused formats (we get a lot of Helvetica in some of our source docs from Germany); tried again with same result.
*	Tried global update "All Paragraph and Catalog Entries" to
convert any stray instances of Helvetical to Arial; same result. Also searched and replaced any stray Helvetica in callouts still in Frame (usually keep callouts with the graphic in Illy).
*	Exported all files via MIF. Using ReplaceText, changed every
instance of Helvetica in the MIF to Arial. Distiller coughed again; said this time it couldn't find Arial.

 
I know I have Arial, and I'm pretty sure I have Helvetica. I've been using FM 9 for about a month with no prior offenses.
What to do?
 
TIA for any ideas. I'm appending the Distiller log below:
