Disappearing Character When Printed

[Art Campbell]

There was a recent Microsoft hotfix for XP that resolved a long-standing
missing character issue as well as numerous other printing/PDF problems.
I know the URL for the hitfix has been mentioned online and in the Adobe FM
forum many times since its release... so I'd google away and/or check the
archives.

* Also, if you get anything in from Word, it's SOP to safe your FM file as
MIF, then open and save that as your FM file in order to remove any odd
characters that were imported. If you haven't done that yet, do so...
