My document uses some special symbols, like the Omega. To create it, I type W and then apply a Symbol character tag, which applies the Symbol font.
I've created PDFs from this file in two ways: ---Used Framemaker's "Save as" feature. ---Printed to .ps file and opened it in Acrobat Distiller. In this case, I've deselected "Do not send fonts to printer." I believe this should assure that the Symbol font is sent to the printer. Either way, the Omega character is turned back into a W in the final PDF. This is also happening with the Symbol +/minus sign (the plus is directly over the minus) -- it is transformed into a plain minus sign. NOT GOOD. I'm sure this problem is as old as the hills, but I have Googled lots of phrases and have not found a good treatment of this subject. In the short term, I'm creating .gifs of the symbols and importing them into the text as graphics, but that is time-consuming and clumsy. All suggestions will be very welcome. --Nancy
