FW: FrameMaker/ePublisher issue

[Eichelberger, Mark]

Sorry for my late reply as I was not able to review any responses until
this afternoon, but I would like to thank all who replied to my post.
We choose to avoid the pesky issues with symbol display in HTML by
replacing the symbol bullets with graphic images of those bullets in our
paragraph tags.  They display quite nicely in the resulting HTML.

Folks, I honestly do not know if this is a FrameMaker or ePublisher
issue, but I thought I would first ask here first.  

 

We are currently using FrameMaker version 7 and have just upgraded to
ePublisher version 2008.3.  We also use a 3rd Party plugin for FM called
AutoText to define tables or graphic items for selection via a pull down
menu in FM.  What we have noticed in the HTML and PDF output of our FM
source files generated by the 2008.3 version of ePublisher is that
symbols within the FM AutoText tables, such as the Monotype Sorts
"Pointing Finger" or the Wingdings "Warning Bell", are being substituted
by other symbols in the resulting HTML and PDF output.  For example, the
warning bell symbol displays as a percentage symbol in the pdf output.
We noticed these issues after upgrading to the 2008.3 version of
ePublisher.   All symbols appear correctly in the html and pdf output
when generating via our earlier version of ePublisher.

 

Has anyone else run into an issue such as this?  If so, is it a FM issue
or an ePublisher issue? 

 

Thanks in advance,
