Does Flare Accept Type 1 Fonts?

Post by KevinRyan »

Hello,

I'm in a 30-day Flare trial as a potential converter from FrameMaker 7 to Flare. On my Flare and Capture installations I notice that a subset of the fonts used to create our FrameMaker PDF guides are unavailable in the Madcap drop-down lists--- though they are available in FrameMaker and some but not all other programs.

For example, these fonts are missing in Flare (all pfb & pfm files):

avenir
zapfdingbats
agaramond

Myriad Pro (OTF) works ok in Flare.

Am I out of luck? To use them in Flare, would I need to replace the missing fonts with equivalents in True Type or OTC or some other type? What are the recommended types of fonts for use in Flare?

Thank you,

Kevin Ryan
