[Framers] Symbol Bold (etc)

[Bernard Aschwanden]

Some of the font issues come up as well from items that are part of FM at install. For example, the "File > New > Document" has an option to "Explore Standard Templates" and that resulting screen is a document that is a FM source file. It has fonts. The same with some of the other tools in FM (I'm not sure of a full list, but the Equations palette could be another).

It is possible that if a font is needed in one of those items and it is loaded in a version of FM that has font issues (for whatever reason; IT restrictions, changes to source files, path names, font managers, etc) a message could come up. It is possible that other plug-in tools have specific fonts for some of their tools and that triggers the same issue.

Hope that helps a bit.

Bernard

Subject: SPAM -> [Framers] Symbol Bold? Re: Framers Digest, Vol 142, Issue 17


I just thought I would add in my $0.02 worth to this.

I have found that some Microsoft Office products [Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.] make fake fonts, where weights and styles do not exist - such as the Symbol font.  If there is any text in Symbol, and bold effect is applied, Office products will tag it as "Symbol Bold", and will then display a bolded version of the font, even though the Symbol Bold font is not installed.

I suspect that there may be a paragraph tag, or character tag definition that tries to reference it.  To hunt down the rogue font reference, I would suggest saving the file as MIF format, and opening the MIF in a text editor to search for the definition.
