Thanks to Leonard Rosenthol who pointed me to MacFixIt website
http://www.macfixit.com/ which addresses this problem. From there I
found the following two fixes.
Alsoft, makers of MasterJuggler Pro, has available for free, Corrupt
FOND Fixer which is a small little application that scans your hard
drive for files with corrupt FONDs. You can get it at --> http://www.Alsoft.com/AskAl/download.html
DiamondSoft, makers of Font Reserve, has released a System Extension
called "FONT Fixer for 8.6" which fixes this problem. This System
Extension is available for free. You can get it at --> http://ww2.fontreserve.com/update/fontfix.html
I downloaded both of these and ran Alsoft's Corrupt FOND Fixer first and
then installed DiamondSoft's FONT Fixer extension. After a reboot and a
desktop rebuild I fired up PageMaker and was able to print four files!!!
Before I wasn't able to print anything so I call this a big success.
I have to ask you though Leonard, why doesn't Adobe have anything about
these fixes on their web site? I know it's a Mac OS problem but it
seems to show up mostly in PageMaker which of course makes PageMaker
look bad.
