FrameMaker 7.0 MingLiu font changed to AbnormalMing (畸明體)

[hanzelkopeter]

Hello.

We have a FrameMaker document in Traditional Chinese. It uses MingLiu font ( 細明體).

Everything worked OK. But now some how font changed to AbnormalMing (畸明體).

So on some machine the document becomes unreadable.

We can't find this font is Windows System Fonts. Also google didn't help.

Does someone have a clue?

What specific version of FM 7.0 (as shown in Help > About, the "pxxx" numbers).

Here is a forum posting regarding something similar, does it provide any information?

Also, there is an Adobe PDF discussing usingChinese and Korean fonts with FrameMaker 7 near the bottom of this page:

(even though the link says "8.0" the document itself is for FM 7)

We have a FrameMaker document in Traditional Chinese. It uses MingLiu font...

What version of Frame created the document?

What platform (OS)?

Was the original font big5 or Unicode?

So on some machine the document becomes unreadable.

Unreadable as a .fm file, or unreadable as .pdf?

If as PDF, was the font embedded during rendering?

And what is "unreadable"? Blank? Unexpected glyphs?

Frame 7 does not support Unicode. The MingLiu would apparently need to be Big5 encoding to edit the document with FM7.

If the document was created by Frame8 or later, or on a platform that provided MingLiu only as Unicode, I can imagine that there would be problems.

I have almost no experience with this issue, but noticed that no one had raised Unicode as a possible problem here.
