FrameMaker font questions



My customer asked me these questions, regarding FM 5.5.6 on Windows 2000:

1. In FrameMaker there are some fonts that I'm not able to locate ... you can select them in FM but not in other software (ie: Quark, Word, etc). Some of the fonts I'm looking for are Arial TUR, Arial Baltic, Could you tell me where they might be located? Is it possible to copy these fonts and place them in the Windows fonts directory with the other fonts?

Detail: These fonts appear in the character and paragraph designers, but are not located in the fminit\fonts folder, or the adobe folder within it, nor in the Windows\fonts folder.


Any ideas on where they may reside, and, if it's possible to relocate them to make them available for other applications, if it's legal?
 
2. While working on Asian languages and the proofreaders mark up a PDF, copying text content from a PDF and pasting it into FM is kind of a hit or miss whether I can get the copy to actually paste. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I only get half of the content, sometimes I don't get anything. I have tried doing just Control V (to paste), Paste Special and tried all of the possibilities. I've also tried importing an .RTF.

Some blocks of text succeed reliably and some fail consistently. I mean there are numerous chunks of copy to be copied from the PDF and inserted into the FM file. I can start at the beginning of the files and have whole blocks paste successfully, move onto the next entry and have only beginning of the block of copy paste and not the ending portion, move onto the next entry and have no portion paste.

I suspected the possibility of a memory issue. The customer will try my suggestions: saving the destination file after each paste; saving, closing, reopening the destination file after each paste; working in smaller blocks. Waiting to hear the results.


Does this require installation of Asian fonts in FM? Asian Windows?

Any additional ideas?
