| Try including the spaces within the Symbol formatting.

I tried this, but it had no effect.

Really? I didn't know that. I have the Type 1 Symbol font installed.
I've removed it (in ATM) but still get the problem with the output.
Where do I find/how do I confirm that I have the TrueType Symbol font
installed? (In WINNT\Fonts, I have a file called Symbol8,10,12,14,18,24.
This file has a copyright date of 1991.)

Always!

Never!

I have three directories in this path: 

C:\PSFONTS\ (where my Type 1 Symbol font was before I deleted it)
C:\WINNT\FONTS (where the Symbol8,10,12,14,18,24 file lives) 
D:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Resource\Font (there is a copy of
sy______.pfb here but it is not installed via ATM)

I believe it is but am not 100% certain how to verify this. In any case,
doesn't the fact that the problem is apparent when printing a PostScript
to distill OR when printing directly to a PS printer suggest that the
problem is with the PostScript generated by Frame? 

Thanks for your help,
