URGENT: Need help in using fonts in FrameMaker

[Ragnar Hanås]

For Russian, you need to have the font Arial CYR installed. Times new Roman CYR and a few other fonts are also available. I remember downloading these from Microsoft. The Arial font is in a file called arial32.exe. I have published several books in Russian with FM6 and FM7 without problems.

 

I also got the Simsun font to show Chinese characters nicely for FM6, but don´t remember exactly how I did this. But I found an old e-mail saying:

 

You don't specify which version of FrameMaker you're using,

> 3. Select the language you want to work with, for example

> Chinese (PRC).

> 4. Restart the computer.

Dear Keerthi,

 

As far as I know, FrameMaker 7 is not Unicode-enabled. Try turning on support for each language in Control Panel of your OS, or try upgrading to FrameMaker 8 or higher.

Hi Frame users,

 

I am Keerthi and working on multiple languages. I need to copy the different languages and port it to FrameMaker 7.1. I am facing the following issues:

 

 


Language

Issue


Korean

The Korean fonts (Gulim, GulimChe, Dotum, and DotumChe (True type)) are available in the FrameMaker font list, but when I copy and paste the content in FrameMaker and apply the fonts, the content is not the same, there are “?” in between.

		

Russian

The Russian font (Arial) is available in the FrameMaker font list, but when I copy and paste the content in FrameMaker, the content shows “?”


zh-hans

The Chinese font (simsun) is available in the FrameMaker font list, but when I copy and paste the content in FrameMaker, the content shows “?” 


zh-hant

The Chinese font (mingliu) is available in the FrameMaker font list, but when I copy and paste the content in FrameMaker, the content shows “?”

 

Can any one help in resolving these issues? 

 

Thanks,

Keerthi
