Dave,

What platform? 

Note: If on Win2000 & XP do you have the MS TT Symbol installed (you
must have this one and can optionally use the Type 1 Symbol instead,
i.e. both can be installed)?

Also, do you have Times installed? Checking the mathchar.cfg file in
the \fminit folder, it calls for:

  < minus 	d0 Times Regular>

The minus sign is taken as the endash (ANSI 0150 or \xd0 in hex) from
the Times character set. You can edit the mathchar.cfg file to change
this to another, such as the minus in the Symbol (hex \x2d), e.g.

  < minus 	2d Symbol Regular>

If you don't have Times and your font substitutions in the maker.ini
file don't make the switch to TimesNewRoman for Times, you may get
weird things happening. You could also try editing all of the Times
entries in this .cfg file to TimesNewRoman. 

Your mileage may vary and please make a back-up of the mathchar.cfg
file before you attempt any edits.
