Equation accent problems

[Lee Creighton <Lee.Creighton@xxxxxxx>]

Hi group,

I'm in the very very final stages of writing a statistics book (which is to
say I'm looking at final proofs). After going through the printed copies, I
have noticed that all the little circumflex ("hat" accents like â) are
vanishing from my equations. They were difficult to get in there in the
first place -- initially, something strange happened with the font resulting
in all the hats to be placed too low, sort of coincident with their
associated characters rather than atop them. Think strike-through with
accents rather than lines, and you'll get the picture.

So I went into the "positioning" functions of the equation editor and moved
them to their proper place in each equation. For those that don't know,
statistics is festooned with circumflex accents, so this was a big job to
do.

But they don't print. Other mathematical symbols print fine, except an
occasional plain quote (prime mark) showing up as a curly apostrophe. But
the hats are gone, and now that I look back to when they were crowded amidst
their characters, I realize that they weren't printing then either. At that
time, I chalked it up to their bad positioning. But it is something more
elusive than that. The characters they are supposed to sit on are there, but
the hats are off.

Info on my system:

Mac OS X with OS 9.2 Classic
FM 6.0, including the update on Adobe's web page
Acrobat and Distiller 5.0.5
Equations are using Adobe Garamond Post-script Type 1 font
