Bug: em space in variable in FrameMaker 8

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

In my header I have a variable which also contains an
em space. I notice that in FrameMaker 8 in files in
FrameMaker 7 format this em space is replaced by ? on
body pages. In the variable definition only a thick
vertical bar is shown instead of my em space.
(In FrameMaker 7 this was displayed correctly as: \sm)
When I replace this bar with \sm the em space, in the
definition is still a thick vertical bar, but in the
header of this file and in all files into which I
import the variable definitions, the em space is
displayed correctly.

However, after some other changes the em space is replaced
again by a ?. I did not test this thoroughly enough to
know when the em space is replaced again by a ?. I guess
it's something like import of page layout or variables or
something like that.

Best regards

Winfried
