re: We use them in .ttf. Also this shouldn't apply to all mentioned fonts? The .TTF filename extension, alas, doesn't seem to unambiguously identify the file data structure. It could be a legacy 8-bit font, a static Unicode font, or an OTF variable, as far as I can tell. What I'd like to see on the thread is some remarks from Adobe FM marketing or R&D on the state of support for variable fonts.   And there's a wider font issue in FM that I don't think is in play here, which is that no "Unicode" versions of FM, from FM8 to FM2022, support any code points above U+FFFF, the Supplementary Planes (FRMAKER-10976). I have a have couple of such fonts on my machine, and FM doesn't seem to mind as long as I stick with BMP code points. ... View more

re: Segoe UI Variable Small Semibol… Microsoft re-issued Segoe as a Variable font (OpenType Variations, OTVF) at some point in the recent past, and unless FM has been updated to support Variables, I'd expect problems. I don't know if it's possible to revert to the pre-Variable instance, nor if the download includes a sub-directory with static instances, not if there are any utilities for casting a static instance. ...

If you have a Character Format applied to a text string picked up for generated content, such as ToC: The fix: The generated file, e.g. BookToc.fm, must have that Character Format in its catalog, but… Fixing that breaks hypertext: FM doesn't have separate start:end markers for hypertext regions, and parses them on various boundaries, including Character Formats. This is a long-standing limitation in FM that is unlikely to get revised. The work-arounds are: Accept the broken link (works for print). Accept the lack of superscript. Use a font in which the problem character is natively superscripted. ... View more

re: …but I'm looking for a way to fix the HTML export from FrameMaker without having to redo or replace all the images. I'm beginning to wonder if you're dealing with an actual bug here. I just did a test in FM2020, of a simple document with an Anchored Frame containing an FM rectangle, ellipse, line of Graphics Text, and an imported .png {raster} icon, output as basic HTML using the Publish path. It worked without apparent issues. Everything in the AF was exported as a single {external} .svg. The FrameArt became SVG vector objects. Positioning was undisturbed. ... View more

re: I don't have access to a program like Illustrator, so need a solution that can be achieved within FrameMaker. Because your annotated objects contain raster images, one approach might be to compose the whole thing in FM, and then perform a screen grab (or PDF extraction) of the completed image, to use in the final document. There are a number of no-charge open-source vector editors out there. I've not used any, but just taking a look at the most prominent of them, it appears that it can handle importing rasters, and adding vectors and text to it. Of course, if you need to populate callouts by Xref, or have them be hypertext, or at least be selectable text, whole different challenge.   ... View more

re: They are usually .png or .jpg. None of our images are .svg originally. All the arrows and text are add separately using the tools in FrameMaker. Images are copied in. I'd suspect a couple of different potential problems here: It relies on all downstream clients understanding the size of the raster objects relative to the added vectors & text. It might be presuming that FM vector art (FrameArt) gets exported to HTML as vector (which it might, in some later releases). When I'm faced with rendering raster to HTML output, I normally compose the whole thing in a vector editor like Illustrator. Open the raster. Expand artboard to extents (plus extra space needed). Add vector & text elements. Save complete object to SVG with attention to how the text survives (and convert to outlines if it doesn't). ... View more

It might be necessary to save the document as MIF (to .mif), and use a text editor to look for instances of insets.

There are two possible codepoints in Unicode: ® U+00AE REGISTERED SIGN Ⓡ U+24C7 CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R Only 00AE has the usually desired semantics (important for accessiblity | screen readers), but ® also may or may not be inherently superscripted in your font.

re: <$shortmonthname> <$daynum>, <$year> Because future searches are apt to stumble across this thread, I might add that a very common misperception with date-oriented Variables is due to the Building Blocks elements only being available for System Variables. That BB menu is not present when creating or editing a user Variable. People do try to type/paste them into user Variable definitions, but they just get rendered as plain text. The problem is that the System Variables have access to {hidden} operating-system supplied data objects, for which the BBs control the presentation. User Variables are defined only by their Definition dialog field, which is just text, FM special characters, \x or \u codepoints, and any applied Character Format. It might be useful if a Var def could accept expressions, other $Vars, etc., but FM hasn't supported that yet. ... View more
