Q1: I recently expanded my horizons and bought GaramondPro. I've seen several write ups with guidelines on how to choose compatible (i.e. "Friendly") font that play well together in typical letters, reports, etc. (no art-y advertising, type stuff). Is there a simple list of common (bold, underlined) fonts that are compatible? Q2: I use MS Word2003, not Unicode savvy, for various reasons (corp standard, cost). I do have a 'fix up' macro that I run at the end to address various common situations, such as replacing formatted SmCaps with true SmCaps, ligatures, etc. Really only do it for something that I want to make special since the replacement mappings are font specific (Private Area). However, it was a PIA to get a glyph list with the Unicode values, so that I could add the proper hex codes to the GaramondPro_Fix macro. I had to use TTX to dump the cmap table, and then edit the text file to clean it, and delete unneeded lines, etc.. It'd be really helpful is Adobe would include the Glyph Name - Unicode Hex - Unicode Decimal correspondence in a file some where. The spec sheet if pretty, but not helpful in that regard. Or is someone had a program to do that Thanks FJN
