Re[2]: FIXED Hideous Frame Problem

[Keith Arnett <keith_arnett -at- RESTON -dot- OMD -dot- STERLING -dot- COM>]

     This problem has been discussed from time to time on the FrameUsers
     list (http://www.findmail.com/listsaver/framers/ to subscribe).

     I just tried to search the FrameUser archives on this problem, without
     much luck.  I have had this problem about a year ago, and it seems the
     only solution was to save the book and document files to MIF, and then
     examine them for the offending fonts and edit accordingly.

     This task can be greatly simplified by a Windows utility called MIF
     Muncher (http://www.hytext.com/musthave.html).

     It's definitely not printer related, but another endearing
     eccentricity of Framemaker :-)

I've been long plagued by the same problem. And I've used the Remember
missing font names solution, but I think this is a short-term
work-around solution (so you can print the book or accomplish whatever
you need to for the moment).

But the problem doesn't actually go away once and for all, and  it can
be risky to Remember missing font names. This solution must also be
applied to all docs, by everyone who is using the template.

Anyhow, I think it's printer related -- we use an apple laser printer
and/or hp, and also frequently print to .pdf. These Apple/Windows-based
printers use a different basic font set -- times vs times new roman;
helvetica vs arial, etc. and it seems like whenever someone switches
between printers the problem re-arises. I developed the template, so I'm
the one who gets cursed.

Anyone have other solutions?
