FDX is an attribute to a paragraph or character format:
"Horizontal kern value for manual kerning expressed as 
percentage of an em; positive value moves characters right 
and negative value moves characters left"

This attribute is not possible to assign or change directly
from either the paragraph or character designer. Possibly
someone has changed the value by using MIF earlier.
You could search the resulting MIF file for a string like
"<FDX -2033" and see if you find it. Then change it to zero,
or possibly a smaller percent value if you think the context
motivates it (this requires a little MIF knowledge), and then
resave the MIF file as binary.

If you'd like, I can take a look at the MIF file.
