Hello, again, It's probably obvious that I'm doing major thesis proposal writing right now. I must have used the forum a dozen times in a few days. I am running into snags following Michanek's procedure to banish unavailable fonts: http://w1.184.telia.com/~u18407300/fonts/unavailable.html I'd like to locate these fonts. The solaris xterm says the offending font is "Symbol Bold". I set the preferences to not remember missing fonts and opened the document. From within the document, I confirmed that the missing fonts would not be remembered. I tried generating a list of references for the fonts. There is no such font. Though I do have Symbol fonts. An attempt to find Symbol*Bold also turns up nothing. I tried the Find/Change window. I searched for a character format, pressed shift-F8 to set everything to As-Is, and chose Symbol family (there is no Symbol Bold family). I made sure the weight was Bold. This did not turn up anything in the Body, Master, or reference pages. I saved the file as MIF and did a text search for Symbol Bold. Nothing came up. I also searched for Symbol.*Bold, which in vim searches for any line in which the word Bold follows the word Symbol. Nothing came up. I even tried Symbol\_.*Bold, which searches for Symbol followed by Bold, not necessarily on the same line. But the result was too confusing because there are too many lines in between. Regardless of whether I open the file from the book window or from the list of references for fonts, I always get told that Symbol Bold will be replaced by Symbol. Could that be the reason that I can't find the font, even though the nonbold Symbol is not remembered upon saving? I'm inclined to think not because these methods of locating the offending font are from the web page. The same advice was given in response a posting of mine from years past. Thanks in advance for feedback on this. I've sent this to comp.text.frame, framers@omsys.com, and adobe.framemaker.
