FrameMaker: mysterious font substitution in PDF

[Robert Lauriston]

Yeah, check the font folder and see that Helvetica is actually
installed, and installed properly. Windows hides information, list the
files at the command line or use a third-party file browser. I had a
problem a couple of years ago where one of the two files (.pfb and
.pfm) required for an old PostScript font was missing.
