Have you tried printing from FM directly to a printer?

When you open the PDF in Acrobat, have a look at the File > Doc Properties > Fonts, to see what it says there. You can also select the TouchUp Text tool in Acrobat, highlight the bullet, and then do Tools > TouchUp Text > Text Attributes to bring up the dialog that should say what font the bullet is.

What I'm wondering is if perhaps your Distiller isn't set up correctly and it doesn't know where the font is, so it's substituting. When I open a new FM doc and follow your steps, then check it in Acrobat, the bullet character is Times New Roman.
Another possibility is to check your fonts and printer driver -- could there be conflicting versions of TNR on your system, or perhaps some other app installed an older one ... <pardon me while I grab at some more straws>

Seems to me I hear Mac people say something about "rebuilding my suitcase" when font issues crop up; is that a possibility?
