I am using the settings and aliases shown below in the maker.ini file in an attempt to compromise the differences between fonts that have come with UNIX FrameMaker in the past 10 years or so, and Windows fonts that have come from various sources including Windows FrameMaker.Ĭan anyone find errors in my syntax or confirm the bugs? (If you try editing the aliases make sure you keep a working backup copy of the maker.ini file.) Some of the aliases dont work, and some of my attempts at setting them up disturb FrameMaker enough that it cannot read a file without crashing. I am having problems getting the font aliases to work in Windows FrameMaker 8. These inconsistencies really throw a spanner in the works when it comes to achieving seamless cross-platform compatibility for documents. Why (given the inconsistent fonts) doesnt the default maker.ini file have font aliases in place to cater for the inconsistencies? Why does Adobe supply inconsistently structured fonts for the two platforms in the first place? The first two questions that spring to mind are: In the past (FM 4 to 5.5.6) I got around this problem successfully by standardising on the UNIX font names and structures, and in Windows setting up font aliases in the WindowsToFrameFontAliases section of the maker.ini file. Unfortunately, the fonts supplied with FrameMaker on the two platforms are structured differently, although they have the same name. I work on the same FM documents on both UNIX and Windows.
