Hey guys,

This has been addressed to some extent before, but nothing I try works!!

I'm on 15.2 s039 (v15-2-51AW) [11/30/2004] i86, W2K

I'm in Allegro, I've viewed on the layers I want to plot to a PDF for
searchable text.  In File -> Plot Setup..., the Windows tab, I click on
"Non-vectorized text", but the "View available fonts" button comes up with a
blank window.  Courier shows as the Font in the Plot Setup window.  So I OK
out of Plot Setup, go File -> Plot, choose Acrobat PDFWriter, and when I
click OK in the final (Print) window, I am blown out of Allegro!!!

1) How can I get fonts to show up in "View available fonts"??

2) If #1 above is resolved, will it create a PDF without blowing up
Allegro??

Thanks for any help!
