Unfortunately neither Plan A nor Plan B work. If I take the default
(empty) document, remove every reference to Trinity from every style - in
fact not setting font changes in any except the Body (which I set to
LondonA - an EFF font) - and save as default. If I load this saved default
and save as DDL then Trinity flavours appear in the font list (together
with the one for LondonA) - BUT nowhere else in the DDL document - which is
empty, of course! LondonA appears, as expected, in the Bodytext style.
This does not appear to be a case of deleting fonts leaving something
around in memory which OvnPro writes out. I just load the default - save as
DDL - with the results I describe above. It doesn't matter even if I quit
and reload OvnPro between saving the default and loading it again.
If I delete the unused font references from the DDL, quit OvnPro - and
reload the DDL file - then save it out again as DDL - the Trinity font
references appear again.
Interesting! No?!
