Is there a Font Guru in the house?

[Grant Hogarth]

Rene: 
Given that it is a Corel font, I suspect that you are correct in
assuming that it is a permission-to-embed issue. 

The options that I can recommend are: 
1) Switch to a font that permits this (Warning Pi for example:
http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/mondosearchresults.htm?st=12&kid=Warning
)
2) Change the symbol to a graphic.

Hi All,
  
  Please bear with me if I'm asking a stupid question - wouldn't be the
first time...and likely won't be the last. :-\  
  
  SCENARIO: 
  We're using FM 7.2 on Win XP with Acrobat 7.0. We have a paragraph
format in FM that uses a character format for the autonumbered item to
create a graphic preceding the text. It's for cautionary notices. The
character format uses Bullets3.ttf, because that's the only font our
client had available that provided a exclamation point inside of a
triangle. The font is on our licensed Corel Draw 12 installation CDs,
and we've  got enough licenses. We installed the font via Control Panel
>  Fonts, File > Install New Fonts.
  
 To address the issues  with inconsistent display of "non-standard"
fonts in PDF, we've been  embedding the fonts when we create the PDF.
However, it seems that the  Bullets3 font doesn't get embedded. The way
we've been creating the  PDFs is by selecting the Adobe PDF printer
instance and printing to a  .ps file. We've made sure that the several
places that have "Do not  send fonts to Adobe PDF" are all unchecked.
Within Distiller's PDF  settings, we have selected to embed all fonts
and subset, but Bullets3  doesn't show in any of the 3 lists in the
Embedding area. 
  
  This problem is happening on all of our PCs and laptops in the
department, so at least if it's something we screwed up, we've been
consistent.  Ha!
  
  QUESTION:
 What (if anything) can  we do to get the Bullets3 font to show in the
list of fonts to embed?  I'm beginning to wonder if this has something
to do with a years-old  string that I think I remember Dov and others
commenting about some  fonts allowing some things and not others... Any
insight would be  greatly appreciated!
  
  Thanks,
  Rene Stephenson
