Answer Francisco:
If you are using OS X Panther, that means that you really have 2 operating systems running. Pagemaker is running out of Classic Mode which is also called OS 9.
You will need to go into Font Book and take out all your fonts.
Then you will need to install them again. Before you hit the Open Button, make sure you have "Install for Mac Classic" button pushed. You will have to put in your password for every font you install.
After your fonts are straight, you will need to restart Classic.
This is not a problem with Pagemaker, but the way the new OS X works.
