Hi Avi,
Having spend endless hours looking for how to make Wine and Type1 fonts working together. I finally decided to convert my Type1 fonts to Truetype (after a hint by someone that Wine does not have Type1/Adobe support).
Note: I'm not sure if this is true since there is a wine [afmdirs] section in the wine config. Wine still had troubles with (at least) some of the files.
Converting Type1 fonts to Truetype fonts was easy and Framemaker actually has a hidden feature to find out which fonts are missing. When you load your FrameMaker document and you have missing fonts, it wants to reformat your file. After you allow that, just look at the available fonts, suddenly you have a few extra ones in the list that have been disabled. These are the fonts FrameMaker requires and couldn't find.
Note down the names as they appear in the list, quit the document without saving (!), then go look for the Type1 fonts that match the name using grep.
Open them in fontforge (http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/), if necessary change the Family Name to what you wrote down and safe it as a Truetype font. If you do that for all the files involved, everything works fine.
I added this explanation to my document bits (for google)
http://dag.wieers.com/howto/bits/wine-framemaker-type1.php
So fontforge should definitely be part of the Font HOWTO and maybe something about Wine and Type1 support (and FrameMaker) too ?
PS I included the Wine list too, as I looked there for answers first. I bet some more people will do the same and come across this thread.
Hope this helps and thanks for a great resource, -- dag wieers, dag@wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
