Help! Missing font issue

  • May 19, 2008

I'm trying to update some book pages that were made in FrameMaker 5.5. I was able to open the document in FrameMaker 6, but it reports that Myriad-Roman is a missing font & is substituting Times. I do have Myriad MM installed on the system. What is the easiest/fastest to resolve this issue--even if it means purchasing the font? I up against a deadline, and I only want to alter select pages in the book--so it has to be compatible. Thanks for you help! (It's been a long time since I've used FrameMaker so I'm very rusty).

    Hi Toni

    I'm no expert on fonts, but Myriad-Roman and Myriad MM will be different fonts in Framemaker's eyes. First, I'd check that you don't actually have Myriad-Roman somewhere on your system. I think it comes with Illustrator or Photoshop, so I'd look in my C:\Program Files\Adobe folder.

    If you don't have Myriad-Roman, you can tell FM to substitute Myriad MM instead and see what it looks like. To do this, edit the maker.ini in C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker. Back the file up first!

    You can change the default font for substitution by editing:

    DefaultFamily=Times New Roman, Tms Rmn

    Or I think you can fool FM into thinking that Myriad MM is Myriad-Roman by putting an entry in the section called (sorry I can't give syntax details, I'd have to experiment):

    [WindowsToFrameFontAliases]

    Hope this helps!
