Kurt,

1. To use fonts other than the base Times and Symbol, you have to jump
through a few hoops. FM doesn't make it easy. You have to make edits
to maker.ini file, the mathchar.cfg file and also specify them in the
Equation fonts via the Equation Editor menus. MathType is much better
in a lot of ways.

2. OpenType fonts can be used by FM, but you're limited to the
standard language codepages for Windows. Also, the FrameRoman encoding
makes a few character position unavailable.

3. What type of cross-references are these, between files?

4. MathType creates EPS files without any preview so there is nothing
for FM to display (unless you're on a unix platform). InDesign
interprets the Postscript code in the EPS and then makes a screen
display.
