You know, I would have never guessed that there was a 'manditory' procedure that is based on the font you're working on. That is true, isn't it? When it comes to working with the complex families, how does anybody know what the proper assembly order should be without first peeking at the association table of the FONDs? The problems I have found with Rick's suitcase files are very minor (I think). They are similar to a major problem I ran into when trying to duplicate what you have done. I have gone through all of them now also, and in fact there are no major problems that I can see. There are a few minor ones though, which affect the display of the 'oblique' faces. They are displayed as Italic (sharper angle). All of the Stone, Univers 57, FuturaBook, Helvetica, PrestigeElite and Cheltenham oblique's in the 12pt and 18pt sizes. Palatino, Times and Futura 10pt bold-oblique's. Orator (jokingly, one of my favorites) has a severe negative leading problem. Again, all minor with regards to the screen. I don't have a postscript printer so I cannot tell if this will affect the printed results. i.e. the right font / the right line length. Jim
