Thanks, Dov. I knew from your previous posts on this subject that it was
not only OK, but _necessary_ to have the TT version, even if you have
the PS font. I don't know how mine came to be missing, but it was easily
replaced. 

And I'm willing to live with my PDFs containing the TT version of
Symbol. 

I just wondered why they did, even when I select "Ignore TrueType
versions..." in Distiller -- and whether the odd (to me) Type and
Encoding entries signified something or explained what's going on. (Call
it insatiable curiosity.) 

As for my love life -- what love life? I'm a divorced and cranky old
man. ;-)
