    Font management recommendations

    The InDesign folder works great - but sometimes fails when a font handler will work. Also - the "Document Fonts" folder works very well inside the folder in which the InDesign document is living but then fails if you save the "Original" file to another name to another folder. Then the fonts fail...

    Quark

    I have never found the PDF export reliable in Quark. I set the preferences to write PostScript when I say export - then Distill. Seems Quark has always written pretty good PostScript. MSD
