Hi, thanks for the responses. Looking at the font settings in Acrobat Distiller, it is searching these three directories: "D:\WINNT\Fonts\" "D:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Resource\Font\" "D:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Equation\" In the \winnt\fonts directory I have symbol.ttf. In the \Resource\Font directory I have SY_____.PFB and \PFM\SY_____.PFM. and MTEXTRA.TTF in the \Equation directory. You are right that it's a printer installed font issue, but I think it's a bug somewhere. My printer is an HP Laserjet 5 (PCL printer.) If I change Framemaker from the LJ to Acrobat Distiller it replaces all the minus signs. However, if I change the printer from the Laserjet to "Generic Postscript Printer", the minus signs are not changed. I can then change from there to the Acrobat Distiller and everything is still fine. As long as I first change to Generic Postscript Printer, I can change back and forth for the rest of the time that FM 7 is loaded and running. If I quit FM and restart, I have to switch to the Generic Postscript printer before switching to the Acrobat Distiller again or else it will replace the minus signs. This isn't too tragic of a work around, but it's a little hokey. Does this sound familiar/fixable to anyone? Thanks again, Chad
