Fellow Framers,

I have some questions about fonts that I'm hoping for some insight into.

1. Paragraph Designer lists available fonts by name, but how to know if they're Postscript or TrueType?

2. How to ensure that Framemaker can access all installed fonts? My psfonts folder includes:

GDI_____.PFB

which I believe is Adobe Garamond italic, yet this font doesn't show up in the list.

3. If a TrueType and Postscript font have the same name, what does Framemaker do?

I'm using Frame 7.2 on WinXP.

Thanks for any info or suggestions!

Jan Axelson
