Some success... Previously I had tried changing the Portrait doc standard font Times New Roman to Arial and both these fonts result in the Y with two horizontal lines instead of bullets. It seems I was unlucky to pick Arial as I have now tried other fonts and they all work: courier, helvetica, chicago, times Looking at File > Doc Props > Fonts in the pdf output I see all are Type 1. Here are some examples including the Arial which fails for bullets (as did Times New Roman). Orig = Courier, Enc. = MacRoman, Act. = Courier Orig = ArialMT, Enc = Windows, Act. = Embedded Subset (BULLETS FAIL) Orig = Helvetica, Enc. = Custom, Act. = ArialMT Orig = Chicago, Enc. = MacRoman, Act. = Embedded Subset Orig = Times-Roman, Enc. = Custom, Act. = TimesNewRomanPSMT Funny that Times-Roman (or just Times in FM7) seems to map to TimesNewRomanPSMT but that (see earlier email) Times New Roman has an actual font of Embedded Subset. All this means very little to me except at least now I know I can pick a font where bullets will work. It is odd that the default font doesn't work for me. John
