Robert van Liere pointed out to me that they also see this error
but only when they are working on a file that was created/modified
on a Macintosh -  never on one that was created on an SGI. When
he mentioned this I realized that all my problems happened on files
that I had previously created/modified on an IBM PC running 
FrameMaker 3.0 under MS Windows. In fact it was the ability 
of FrameMaker to run on SGI, IBM, Mac and SUN -- AND TO TRANSFER
THE FILES *SEAMLESSLY* BACK AND FORTH -- that lead to us to standardize
on FrameMaker. Rats....

Everytime I open a document on my Indigo that was previously created
on the IBM I get a warning about "unavailable fonts" -- this may
(or may not) be a clue?

Some SGI types have suggested a possible hardware problem with the
graphics card (XS24) but I've seen this problem on three different
machines in my lab (not mention Robert van Liere's machines). 
I'll bet it's in the way Frame is handling the "unavailble fonts"
but since Frame doesn't provide source code, it's hard for a user
to tell ;-)

Once again, has anyone seen this "feature" :-?

You should determine which fonts are available to FrameMaker (FM) on your
IBM computer, which fonts are available to FM on your SGI computer, and
which fonts are used in the document you prepared on your IBM computer.

To find out which fonts are available to FM, select the option 'Character' in
the 'Format' menu.  When the 'Character Format' window is displayed, look for
a list called the 'Font Family' list.  You can scroll through that list to see
which fonts are available in your FrameMaker installation.

Alternatively, enter the commands:

    cd install_dir/.fminit2.0.ps/fontdir
    ls

on your SGI machine.  The default name for the install directory is /usr/frame.
That should give you a list of installed fonts.  FrameMaker uses the file
fontlist in that directory.  Take a look at that file.

I'll append a script that can be used to find out which fonts are used
in an FM document stored in the MIF format.  You should determine which
fonts are installed on both machines, and then use only those fonts, or
install on your SGI machine the fonts you are missing.  As it says in
Appendix F of the SGI FrameMaker Reference manual, you can order additional
technical documents about the adding of PostScript fonts to FM from SGI.  
I have added Macintosh PS fonts to FM on an SGI machine.

Technical writers from Intuit reported:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The situation seems to be that if a font exists on both the Mac and a Unix
machine, FrameMaker recognizes that font. Otherwise, it reformats the 
unknown font as Times or makes a "best guess." For example, the Unix FM 
reformats Helvetica Condensed as Helvetica Narrow.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been reading articles in the newsgroup comp.text.frame, and I don't
remember anybody reporting a similar problem.  I think that you should post
an article in that newsgroup, and send a bug report to comments@frame.com.
You should tell them which versions of FM you have on your computers, and
give them a sample file prepared on your IBM machine.

Here is a script for finding font names in a MIF file:

A while ago I posted a note asking if there was a quick way to get
a table of information about paragraphs -- font names, point sizes,
etc.  All responses were of the form "convert to MIF and write an
[awk, sed, ....] script".  Many added "...and when you have done that,
let me know!"

Well, here it is.  It only scans for paragraph formats, not for any
changes to the default paragraph formats actually in the text.

Not clean code, but gives output like this:

          font       var      weight   angle    size     lead    nexttag   
al0_in0   Helvetica  Regular  Regular  Regular  10.0_pt  2.0_pt  body_in1

bl_in0    Helvetica  Regular  Regular  Regular  10.0_pt  2.0_pt  body_in1  
bl_in1    Helvetica  Regular  Regular  Regular  10.0_pt  2.0_pt  body_in2  
Body      Times      Regular  Regular  Regular  9.0_pt   2.0_pt  none

The code consists of three shell scripts (sorry non UNIX users!):
	-parasumm, the outer script
	-awkgen, which is a generic script I use to create awk scripts....
	-awkrep, another generic script I use to convert labled data to tables..

	Whatever happens, even if frame does something strange, no one
should be able to kill the graphics as seen in your earlier message. I
suggest that you get hold of a data-file that kills the machine when 
Frame tries to open it, and file a bug report. We'd like to get any 
problems with our machines fixed pronto, especially if the graphics
dies.
