Transitioning FrameMaker from Mac to Windows: fonts

[Alan T Litchfield]

I just tested the fonts issue using VirtualBox.

While you can easily share folders between the Mac and your Virtual Box 
machine, you still need to import fonts into Windows for them to be 
active. The Mac installed fonts may not work by importing into Windows, 
at least those that I tried just now didn't import.
