I had the same problem with PageMaker 5.0a (which is a Windows 3.x application). Adobe's only offered solution was an unofficial Windows 95 version 5.0(b) from their download site (not web site) -- or upgrade to 6.0. I skipped both and went straight to v.6.5 (which came out last December). Fortunately or unfortunately, I was laid off just at the transition and had to experiment on my own nickel (and had to justify the expense of the upgrade -- I've never regretted moving to v.6.5, then 6.51, and now 6.52) As you indicated, PageMaker 5.0 was really the only application which had this problem. I discovered two things trying to troubleshoot this. 1) If you had both TrueType and Type 1 (PostScript) fonts, the ones with the same names will act weird. One or the other (never figured out the pattern), or sometimes both, will NOT show up in any type dialogs. And thus, not be usable or accessible. WFW 3.11 didn't care and displayed all fonts -- Win95 is more frustrating and displays only what IT wants displayed. William Stephenson gave a good explanation in his reply. The most obvious workaround is to delete both versions of the same-named font, reboot, and reinstall the Type 1 version. Had miserable luck until I discovered the reboot in the middle. I use the Type 1 versions of duplicate fonts exclusively because of known problems with Mac-based Linotronic service bureaus. If high-end output resolution isn't an issue, or if you don't have Adobe Type Manager for Windows 95, use the TrueType versions instead. And William's suggestion to uninstall and reinstall PageMaker in Win95 is an excellent second step, but do the fonts first so the PM installer can use what it finds. 2) If the PageMaker file was created in an earlier version and then converted to version 5.0, you have a 50:50 chance the publication's font table may be corrupted when opened in the Windows 3.x of PageMaker running in Windows 95. I know of NO workaround. I dragged individual elements into a real PM5 (new) publication, deleted the older file, and reinvented the elements I couldn't access. I still run across older pubs on my hard disk -- I just delete them (knowing they will or already have converted corruptly).
