Scott, Here's some info and a question for ya. Over in MACPRO in DL12 (Fonts) there is a freeware utility called N-FONT that will convert a single family to a NFNT. Before I got Font Harmony, I tried it and ran into problems with the 12pt and 18pt in all (that I tried) families. After doing a check/fix on some virgins, I find this utility has good possiblities. By modifying the STR resources of this utiltiy you can control which FONTs become NFNTs during the conversion. A problem which is not related to 'improper' FONDs was the duplication of NFNT resource ID numbers in the long run when working with individual family suitcases. The question: If all my fonts where repaired by running the 'Check/Fix' of Font Harmony utility, then conversion with N-FONT, and then insure that no family ID numbers exceed 511, would I have any problems with PageMaker or any other programs which handles fonts the same? fiddling in the meantime…. Jim
