Here's where I'm getting the Symbol font:

-- click on Special > Equations
-- on the left top, there's an "Equations" dropdown. Click on Equation Fonts
-- the dialog indicates that Math Symbols is set to "Symbol"
-- I created a small equation and inserted

Ah, I see what you could be seeing.

In FM 8 I changed the setting for "Small" in the "Equation Sizes" dialog to 44pt. Depending on the percentage zoom set in FM the ring does move to one side to the other (even though I have Acrobat set as my default printer in FM, so it should be viewing as printed).

So then I made a PDF. In the PDF the ring moves left/right as the zoom level is changed, as well -- only at 100% display does the right appear centered. This is analagous to other display oddities happen in Acrobat, e.g. where lines don't quite join up or overlap each other, depending on the zoom, but it's considered a display artifact because it should print with 100% fidelity even if displayed incorrectly. The amound of distortion is also dependent on the Acrobat version, I believe; I'm using Acrobat 7.1.

Next I'm going to test printing to a true-blue Postscript printer and a non-PS printer, and I'll report the results.
