Pagemaker Fonts

[ThirdCoastPIO]

How do I know which fonts are within Pagemaker and which are picked up from my Windows program?  When transferring the newsletter file from one computer to another, we are finding a number of typefaces that are not loaded.  It's a pain!

Fonts aren't housed with/in PageMaker, and they aren't embedded into publications. Fonts usually are stored on each individual system, so to share PM jobs without having problems with &quot;missing&quot; fonts you need to have the fonts used in the publication loaded onto each system. <br><br>Use the pre-flight option to get a list of fonts used in your document.

Thanks for the info ... sounds like the preflight check would give me good info.&nbsp;&nbsp;How exactly do I run that within Pagemaker?&nbsp;&nbsp;In Help, it said to check the Adobe Print Publishing Guide, but I don't have that.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can you help?

Do you have an PM ADD ONs folder?&nbsp;&nbsp;It's in there...the same folder that has AUTO BULLETS and that kind of stuff (sorry for the way vagueness but I'm not anywhere near a computer w/PM on it right now). <br><br>When I get back to work Thursday, I'll post a more specific answer.

Perhaps is this one safe solution:
Remove (temporarily) all TrueType fonts in the Windows font folder, which are not used as a standard
(like Arial, Courier..).
Load Adobe fonts by Adobe Type Manager ATM. Hopefully these are the same everywhere.
For example I had this problem:
Loaded News Gothic (TrueType) into the windows folder after Wondows installation.
Pagemaker did show correctly but did not not include this font correctly into *.EPS file.
Removed News Gothic.
Loaded News Gothic by ATM.
Then Pagemaker made correct EPS.
But the two fonts with the same name are definitely different.
Use always option &quot;include font&quot; for printers and EPS.
Never rely on fonts in printers or local fonts, perhaps on ATM only (and Arial...).

My fonts are no longer in alphabetical order. What happened.
