I've been struggling with a problem when outputting an Xpress
file (containing an eps generated in FHMX) as a PDF. I was getting
an error saying that there was a missing screen font - Symbol -
even though the Symbol font isn't used anywhere in the FH document
(and didn't show up in the collect for output report from FH
either)..
After much digging it turns out that, although I was using Bitstream Zurich (in various weights) and no other fonts in the FH document, the problem was caused by the Degrees character (as in temperature) which was selected using alt/shift/8 as normal. With this character in I got the missing font call, with it removed all was well. Converting to paths solved it (of course) but I still don't know why using this character makes for a bogus font call.
