I have in vain tried to map the News Gothic families into one
by editing the maker.ini file. FM version 7, the OS is XP.

I have the following fonts in Windows names:
1. A font family 'NewsGoth BT' in the 4 usual styles
2. A font family 'NewsGoth Dm BT Demi' in 2 styles (the regular and Italic)
3. A font family 'NewsGoth Lt BT Light' in 2 styles (the regular and Italic)

How do I map them into one family, such that, for instance, the Light version gets mapped to 'NewsGoth BT' with weight 'Light' rather than being listed as a separate font?

I have tried all kinds of variants, including:
NewsGoth Lt BT Light=NewsGoth BT, *, Light, Regular

I never get it to work. Isn't the section in the maker.ini file called '[WindowsToFrameFontAliases]' made for this particular purpose?

Are there any guides somewhere which details how to achieve it?

Regards,
  /Harald
