RE: Helvetica needed (And Times for that matter)

Thomas - 

You are absolutely correct - the only thing anyone forgot is either to
modify all the included templates to use a font that is installed (by
default) and available on the platform in question (e.g. Times New Roman
instead of Times on Windows boxes) or to make the fonts available (as
was true in earlier releases of FrameMaker by including a basic set from
the Type On Call library.)

Once Adobe decided not to include the Type On Call CD, they should have
updated the templates to use system fonts instead of the TOC PostScript
fonts, but for whatever reason have never seen fit to bother to do so.

So what products uses the Adobe PostScript 3 implementation.

Me, and a lot of other FrameMaker users, have a hard time figuring out
why a fresh installed version of FrameMaker 7.0 starts by prompting
"Times is not avaliable using Times New Roman instead".

To me it looks like, that someone forgot to change someting i FrameMaker
7.0 when it was shiped.
But if it was the inklusion of Times or the facts some of the templates
need refactoring to Times New Roman i can't tell.
