Question

Document reflows when saving to PDF

I am saving a FrameMaker document to PDF and I get this message at the Console:

 

The "Times" Font is not available.
"Times New Roman" will be used in this session.

 

It is causing the document to reflow. The font is not Times or Times New Roman but Calibri. Querying the properties in FrameMaker and Acrobat show that they are both Calibri 9 point. I have seen this message in the past, but the reflow is a big problem for this project. Is there a setting that will give me an exact FrameMaker to PDF text match?

Wasn't there also the possibility of font info hiding in images too? I think searching the MIF might find that sort of stuff (recalling prior discussions about missing fonts messages).

Font invocations can be in imported PDF, EPS, SVG, RTF (& other WP formats), FM and likely other sources.

Not to forget the reference pages of FM.

Are you also getting that console message when opening the document initially?

I see it sometimes, and have never been able to run it to ground (but I'm also not seeing any reflow issues due to it).

The usual investigation is to make sure the doc is in 2-sided mode, save the MIF, and search the MIF.

Then check any insets or imports.

But I do wonder about some hard-coded FM internal assumptions. It appears, for example, that FM uses Type 1 Times-Roman by default for legacy equations.
