I create arial xml files but after saving reverts back to calibri. Using the font pod, change it again only to revert to calibri once again. I want to Arial to be my default font for FrameMaker. How to change this? On windows 10 machine.

Started creating new instructions using FrameMaker. Our default company font is Arial. FrameMaker's default font is Calibri. Created new xml files with Arial and saved. When opening once again, I get this:

The "Zapfdingbats" Font Family is not available.

  "Adobe Pi Std" will be used in this session.

The "Courier" Font is not available.

  "Courier New" will be used in this session.

The "Zapfdingbats Regular" Font is not available.

  "AdobePiStd" will be used in this session.

How to fix it? Under a deadline. Started creating docs in Word (argh!) just in case.

Any help in resolving this issue is greatly appreciated.

(Speaking generally) XML files don't store formatting information.

You can confirm this by opening your XML in a text editor and searching for font names.

When you open the XML file, the formatting is applied via a structured application. If you're not getting appropriate formatting you'll need to adjust your structured application or the resources on your computer.
