David,

Apple has been messing around with TrueType fonts in OS X to accommodate
native Windows versions, and STILL don't have it right.  The glyph you are
talking about in Engraver is Shift-Opt-6 and will not display or print
properly with the TrueType version.  Other "broken" combinations include
Shift-Opt-2 and 5, and one more I can't think of at the moment.

I am not up to speed on font technicalities, even though I have created a
few;  I am more on the artistic side rather than the technical.  If you have
access to the PostScript versions, use those...you will have all characters
available.  I am continuing to try to solve this problem, and I welcome any
input from anyone who knows.
