Quote: "Exactly what OT fonts don't work in PM...?" Arno, for one. Kepler for another. Berling Nova for a third. When converted to pdf, everything comes out in boxes with (sometimes without) x's, including the standard alphabet. Spent considerable time on the phone with Adobe Pagemaker support, as well as Adobe Acrobat support - solution: there is no solution. Use other fonts, or upgrade to InDesign. I'm on Windows XP Home Edition. I have installed many a font - hundreds of fonts - from many different vendors (the issue, btw, is not having too many fonts installed; I have had that problem in the past with Pagemaker, and addressed it). The fonts show up in PageMaker - no problem there. The problem is converting .pmd files to pdf, for which I have found no solution from Adobe tech support via phone, nor in any of the threads here that address this problem. Have spent many hours trying to tweak the distiller settings, etc., to no avail. Quote: "There is a free utility available that will let you create new OT fonts from an existing OT font (licence allowing) with specific character sets." Link? Thanks.
