This is true. That's why I had step 1 before step 2. :-)

This is not true. The setting is a system preference, not something
that's saved for each file or book. In fact, it's the following line in
the [Preferences] section of maker.ini: 

RememberMissingFontName=Off  

Now, it may be true that after changing the setting in the GUI, you have
to stop and restart FM -- I can't test it right now, though, and I
consider it unlikely. If you change the setting directly in maker.ini,
of course, you do have to restart FM so that it reads the change. 

HTH!
