Re: remember missing font names

Alison,

You must have Remember Missing Font Names turned on in the Windows version
of the product in which you do the revisions!  Unfortunately, the
Frame/Windows default is to have this preference turned OFF by default,
whereas the Mac/Frame pref is to have it turned on.

If you've already lost data, you're stuck with having to fix it. (Learning
the hard way, I fear.)

Lee, any chance of changing the default for Frame 7?

Subject: font substitution between platforms

We thought we had this straight, but . . .

If a Frame template is created on a Mac with "Remember Missing Font Names"
checked, passed to a PC and revised, then passed back to the Mac with the
RMFN setting still checked, the Times definitions that have been
substituted by Times New Roman in Windows should revert back to Times on
the Mac, right?

If the template file is copied under a new name on the PC to create a new
file in the book (with the RMFN still checked in the new file), and the new
file is then passed to the Mac with the RMFN box still checked, shouldn't
the Mac user get the Times font of the original template?

This is not what's happening. The Mac user is getting Times New Roman in
the paragraph definitions that used to have Times. Can anyone explain why
this is happening? I've read the manual on the Remember Missing Font Names
setting at least ten times, and thought I understood it--i.e., that the Mac
user should get Times back.

We're using Frame 6.

Thanks,
Alison Tartt
