The “PANOSE font matching” dialog box opens when a font used in the active publication (or the publication you are opening or printing) is unavailable on your computer. This situation is most likely to occur when you open or print a publication created on another computer, and when placing or relinking to a text file. For each missing font, PageMaker can use SuperATM or the PANOSE typeface matching system to either replicate the font (SuperATM) or to propose a substitute font of comparable appearance (PANOSE).
To accept all PANOSE substitutions, click "OK" in the dialog box. PageMaker then asks whether to save changes to the font-matching exceptions file. If you click "Yes," then the substitutions you've specified will apply to all future publications, not just the active publication. (You can modify the exceptions file at any time by choosing PageMaker's "Preferences..." command, clicking "Map fonts..." and then clicking "Exceptions...".)
To change a substitution, select the line that lists the missing font and its proposed substitution, and choose a new font from the "Substituted font" menu.
To control whether a substitution should occur temporarily or permanently, click the line that lists the substitution, and choose a setting for the "Status" option.
Use PageMaker's "Preferences..." command to turn font matching on or off, and to set other font matching options. (For example, you can enable font matching, but specify that PageMaker not display the "Font matching results" dialog box.)
