Question

Framemaker changes the font of variables to Times New Roman

Hi,

Framemaker version: 2019

Settings: main font is Arial.

Issue: even if we don't use Times New Roman in our project, Frammaker changes the font of some variables to that font. It is a random behaviour apparently.

Question: Is it there a way to remove Times New Roman from all the files of my project, like in bulk?

 

Thanks.

    As you probably know, recent versions of FM have a View»Pods»Fonts that shows all the fonts in the current document, and a button [A↷A] to replace all instances.

    I just did this, file-by-file, for the pesky Times New Roman, in a current project.

    What I didn't try first, though, was cleaning up the master template file for the project, and seeing what a bulk import might do.

    There may also exist other tools, some aftermarket.

     

    The number of places that unwanted formats can lurk is impressive: Master Pages, Reference Pages, cells nowhere visible of Table formats (Catalog and not).

      Hi @Bob_Niland!

      I will have a look at the Master pages first, and then see if I have to do it in all files and chapters. I'll let you know.

       

      Thanks a lot!
