- You can turn this around, too. A client of mine bought Helvetica
- Fractions to use with FrameMaker. EVERY NeXT app they have sees
- Helvetica Fractions in the font panel except for FrameMaker. We asked
- RightBrain about this and they said it was Frame's fault - ask Frame.
- We asked Frame about it and guess what? They said ask Rightbrain.
-
- I don't know enough about the inner workings of all the font family
- name stuff, but based on the response that I saw in an earlier post
- today, this may be the work around that will allow it to be used within
- FrameMaker. It may be more trouble than it's worth though, because when
- the stuff goes to the printer, whatever Helvetica Fractions is changed
- too will have to be changed back.
-
- So, a pox upon Frame for their font panel, and a pox upon RightBrain
- for not living up to their support promise.
