Sheila & Tim,

Thanks for your replies, Sheila first...
In Acrobat, File > Doc Props > Fonts I get :

Original Font = TimesNewRomanPSMT
Type = Type 1
Encoding = Windows
Actual Font = Embedded Subset
Type = Type 1

The Touch Up > Text Attributes also says the bullet is TimesNewRomanPSMT and I can see 92pt in another field.

Distiller is a fresh install that happens as part of the FM7 install.

I don't know how to check my fonts. I don't have a printer set up for the Mac OS 9 installation as apart from FM7 I only use Mac OS X applications and print from them. I only need to create pdf from FM7 and print from Acrobat which uses the Mac OS X print setup. One thing I was instructed to do under Mac OS 9 was go to something called Chooser, click on AdobePS printer and then close that window - doing this allows me to pick "Create Adobe PDF" when printing from FM7.

I'm not sure what you mean by conflicting versions of TNR but I only have FM7 installed under Mac OS 9, no other classic apps that could conflict; unless Mac OS X apps might be causing a problem with the fonts. I've never tried to rebuild my suitcase, I doubt it can need rebuilding given a fresh install of Mac OS 9.

Tim,
From what you have said, my Type 1 font should be ok. My problems are in the pdf itself rather than specific to any printer, the pdf has the dodgy bullet when viewed in Acrobat on my Mac or on my PC and when printed.

I bought FM7 for Mac OS X and then had to order Mac OS 9 separately to install (OS 9 isn't shipped with OS X these days). The install process only let me install on an external disk, the main disk would not show up. I don't know if this is of any significance. I have tried installing FM7 itself on that same external disk and on the main disk, still the same problem. Also Mac OS 9.2.1 and Mac OS 9.2.2 give the same problem.

Thank you to you both
John
