So I have these files, created on Machine A.  All the text's in Times,
except for a few words here and there I want to appear in Greek characters
(=Symbol font).  I print the files on a Laserwriter hooked up to Machine
B.  When I do so, everything comes out fine--except that the words in
Symbol come out in something else, I guess it must be Helvetica.

Yes, Symbol's in the system file on B (and in the same set of sizes as on
A, if that makes a difference).  Anybody seen anything like this?
Suggestions?

Bonus question for Symbol wizards: How do you generate the end-of-word
sigma character?

Thanks.
