Hi All,
please help me in finding the location of a particular type of font in the framemaker book. I was using the following procedure to find out earlier:
Find > Character Format > (set the character format) > Search.
Now I am unable to locate a particular type of font using the mentioned procedure.
Please help me out.
Thanks in adnavce,
Mindevil

This assumes that the font instance being searched for is an override:
If the font instance is part of a Paragraph Format or Character Format, you can search by Para Tag name or Char Tag name (which is yet another reason why overrides are a problem).
Or you can save out all the book files as MIF and search with a plaintext editor, but that requires a nominal knowledge of MIF.
I might add that steps 1-3 above are covered in FM7.1 Help (and presumably the printed manual back then), but are absent for FM9, and I'm guessing that they never returned in later versions either.

Thanks Erro7103 for the detailed process. Is there any process to find out the texts included in an image without uploading in the internet (whatthefont.com, findmyfont.com etc.)?

With more recent versions of FrameMaker, simply use the Font pod to locate (and to also replace) fonts.

Thanks Arnis,
I am using FrameMaker 12, but I am unable to locate the Font Pod option. Please guide me through.
