I'm using FrameMaker 4.0.2 for Windows on a 486-66 w/ 16M of RAM.
I have a lot of Windows fonts installed (several hundred).
When I try to select a font from the pull-down menu, a window
opens with what I suppose are all 200 fonts, listed in
alphabetical order. I say "I suppose", because I can only
see the A's and the B's, and there doesn't appear to be any way
to scroll down the list to get to fonts that begin with C through
Z. Naturally, almost every font I would ever want to select for
use in FM begins with something _other_ than A or B.
Help!
How do I pick fonts?
I have FM running on another machine with far fewer fonts, and
on that machine, only the fonts beginning with Z are off-screen;
I still can't access anything that's outside the window, but it's
less of a problem since I don't use the unavailable fonts in FM.
There _has_ to be some way to get at these fonts, but I just can't
figure it out for the life of me. (I don't want to use the machine
with fewer fonts on a routine basis, because it's a 386-16 with
4M of RAM <ugh>).
