Unusual characters appearing with Arial Unicode MS

[Alan Litchfield]

Hi Framers,

Couple of questions for you.

When I use \m in FM I expect to get an em dash, instead I get what  
looks like a Japanese character. When I type alt+0151 I get the same  
character in FM. But when I type that into a word processor I get the  
correct em dash. I change the font to, say, Arial and the correct  
symbol appears. I need the Unicode version for the macrons.

By the way, the Arial Unicode MS is Truetype.

Is this a problem with FM? I have 7.1p116.

Also, I have assigned a variable to the footer to get the text  
"Chapter last updated March 2006". It is <$monthname> <$year>, but  
instead of getting the month name and year I get " 3 2006". I have  
tried changing the building blocks to other options and get the same  
result each time.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks
Alan
