Mark, This is an ePublisher issue. I have run into it. You can search characters on the ePublisher support page:
"Wingdings characters present a particular challenge when working with HTML-based content. Since Wingdings (as well as a few other "symbol" fonts) conflicts with the Unicode character map, many browsers simply don't support it. Internet Explorer skirts the issue and displays these characters correctly." A solution is to use the character map to do a translation from one character to another. "To modify the ePublisher character map, you'll need to perform a simple overide of a file called 'mapentrysets.xml', which is located by default in the ePublisher Pro installation directory: ePublisher Pro\Formats\Shared\html For information on performing target overrides, please see their online knowledge base article here: http://www.webworks.com/technotes/articles/ePublisherPro/EX_ePub_Project_Format_Overrides.36.1.aspx Mary > -----Original Message----- > From: framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers- > bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Eichelberger, Mark > Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 7:09 AM > To: framers at lists.frameusers.com > Subject: FrameMaker/ePublisher issue > > Folks, I honestly do not know if this is a FrameMaker or ePublisher > issue, but I thought I would first ask here first. > > > > We are currently using FrameMaker version 7 and have just upgraded to > ePublisher version 2008.3.
