<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#17365D" FACE="Calibri">A client is insisting on using a proprietary font in the source FM files despite my best attempts to keep them vanilla with Times New Roman and Arial. They</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT COLOR="#17365D" FACE="Calibri">have supplied me with two font sets for this font - one is Regular weight (to be used for any paragraph tags that are non-Heading tags) and a Bold weight (to be used for any paragraph tags that are Headi</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#17365D" FACE="Calibri">ng tags). I have several character formats in my catalog that I want to be able to continue to use. One of these tags is Emphasis. All properties for the tag are set to As Is with the exception of the angle, which I have set to Italic. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#17365D" FACE="Calibri">When I apply this tag to any paragraph tags that are non-Headi</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#17365D" FACE="Calibri">ng tags (i.e., the tags use the regular weight version of this proprietary font), the tag is apparently not applied. The font angle does not change, and in the lower left corner of the page identifying what tags are being used, I see</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT COLOR="#17365D" FACE="Calibri">Emphasis with an asterisk in front of it (*Emphasis). I thought that maybe I had corrupted the tag somehow, so I applied the same tag to some text that used simply good old Times New Roman font in the same document, a</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#17365D" FACE="Calibri">nd voila, the text was immediately italicized and the tag showed Emphasis without an asterisk.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#17365D" FACE="Calibri">I have not really ever had to use proprietary fonts before in a FM source file, so I am obviously missing some</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#17365D" FACE="Calibri">thing behind the use of such fonts that is preventing character tags from being applied as expected. </FONT></SPAN></P>
