Distiller mangles Adobe Garamond Pro bold

[Jerry_F_at_RedSeal]

All of my documents use Adobe Garamond Pro as body text.  When I create PDFs, distiller shows all bold text in this face as courier.

This problem actually started when I upgraded from Frame 9 to 10, but I got around it by always using the Adboe PDF print driver.  That has worked even after I upgraded to Frame 11, except that last week my laptop suffered a catastrophic drive failure.  I lost a bunch of files.  IT gave me a new drive, cloned from the old one as best they could, and reinstalled apps.  Now all PDFs are changing Adobe Garamond Pro bold face to courier text.

I have too many documents that use this font to make it practical to change fonts.  But I also have a release coming up in a few days.  I need this to workwith the current format.

What can i do?

Thanks.

Do you get messages about missing fonts when opening your docs? (Make sure your alerts are not suppressed via preferences)

The Font is present in C:\Windows\Fonts, and it shows as present in the FrameMaker list of fonts.

Jerry,

Have you configured Distiller in your new setup to tell it where all of the fonts are located? Which joboptions file are you using when creeating PDFs?

For creating PDFs from FM, the Adobe PDF should always be used as the default printer instance, which is why I reecommend using the Sundorne SetPrint utility (see: http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm ) to ensure that it is set.

Found the problem---in Adobe PDF printer properties click Preferences and uncheck the "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" option.

Thanks.
