Jagadeesh,

be aware that the UNIX FM 7.x lacks the option to tailor the font attributes in a way similar to the Windows maker.ini file (the Windows to Frame aliases section).

FM 7.1 on UNIX (at least the Solaris variant) uses some hard coded algorithm to determine a font's attributes from the font file (.pfa or .pfb) itself. These routines seem broken to me (or is there a plausible reason for why e.g. a font "Helvetica-BoldOblique" is tagged as having the Family name "Helvetica", the weight "regular", the angle "regular" and the variation "BoldOblique"?).

Sadly enough, this behaviour cannot be overwritten by editing the fontlist file (as it was standard up to FM 6.x).

But don't be too discouraged: as long as you stick to font attributes like "plain" (regular), "bold", and "italic" (this is the exhaustive set known by Windows), you are on the right side of the border.
