Maybe this.. 

Frame has the peculiar way of undestanding characters. If you e.g. choose a font and then write something you might get an aeroplane (Wingdings etc.) If you on the other hand start by typing the specific character with Alt+0??? and THEN hightlight it an use the same font you might get a car (still Wingdings). 

Now this is according to the Adobe engineers as it should be in order to port docuemnts between platforms. But seen from a user point of view you're in deep trouble. 

So try that line of solution. What you write might not be what you have to search for. Try even to take the same character into Word and see what it does when choosing Wingdings. 

keep smiling
