Changing the default printer is almost certainly the culprit here. When running Frame, your default printer should always be Adobe PDF. Physical printers installed on your system come with "device" fonts. What that means is that the printer driver tells the operating system that Courier is available inside the printer, so the OS makes it available to Frame, even though Courier was never really installed. The Adobe PDF printer doesn't allow device fonts, so you won't run into this again (after you fix your files so they don't reference fonts you don't have installed). You have, I think, three choices: 1) Change back to the old default printer. Courier should come back, but you'll have to remember to use that printer whenever you open those files. 2) Install Courier. Go to Control Panel > Fonts, and install Courier. The Courier you install may not be exactly the same as the printer-resident Courier, so this may not solve the problem. It's also kind of a waste, because you already should have Courier New installed. Courier New is pretty much identical to Courier. It installs with Windows, and it's just about impossible to get rid of, so I'm sure you have it. 3) Substitute Courier New. Find where Courier is used and use Courier New instead. Meanwhile, think about using Adobe PDF as your default printer. Sheila mentioned a utility called SetPrint that will change the default printer while Frame is running (I think that's how it works) so you'll still have the real default available to other apps. -- Kenneth Benson Pegasus Type, Inc. www.pegtype.com
