Semi-tangential: Symbol font is not being correctly embedded in FrameMaker PDF

[Tori Muir]

I have a document that uses Symbol to add arrows to the text.   Frame 
7.1 with Acrobat Distiller 6.0 (yes, it's outdated, but it's worked just 
fine until today) on Win XP, which is in turn running on Parallels.

The Symbol characters are fine in FrameMaker. I print to a .ps file, 
then run through Distiller. But as of today Distiller can't  'find' the 
Symbol font, so it's using Courier instead. I don't know how that can 
happen, since Symbol is  installed (it couldn't be used in the 
FrameMaker document if it wasn't).  The font is getting properly 
specified in the postscript file because I can move the .ps file to my 
Macintosh and distill via Acrobat Distiller 9.2, and that PDF is 
correct. But was hoping someone has a bright idea why Acrobat Distiller 
has suddenly decided it can't find Symbol, and even better,  a way to 
fix it....
