There is nothing wrong with the Adobe Pi font, but rather, there is a nasty mapping issue that should have been resolved in FrameMaker if they in fact had a .ini file setting mapping Type 1 Zapf Dingbats to Adobe Pi or any other OpenType version of Zapf Dingbats.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>> And quite frankly, I think it is a hell of a lot of chutzpa on your part to label the designers of Adobe Pi as “morons.” The font simply follows the international specifications for both OpenType fonts and Unicode encoding. How does that make them “morons?” Likewise, you may not like the UI makeover of FrameMaker (maybe I don’t either), but that doesn’t make those who designed and implemented it “morons.”<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
