Onscreen in Pagemaker 6.5 the font is accurately displayed (Edwardian Script). When printed, all the number "3"'s are replaced with "-"'s.

We have tried to print from other programs and ALL programs print out the file fine. The document is 35-pages long and would not be acceptable to re-enter the information into another application.

Any help and/or suggestions are appreciated.
Regards, Amy

 
If you have used styles in your publication, then try replacing the font in them with another font and printing a couple of pages. If the doc prints OK in another font, then it's the font that is the problem and you could try reinstalling. If the file still doesn't print, then the PM file could be corrupted. Have a look here if that is the case:
 
You might try creating a PDF with the doc. I have some fonts that will not print correctly on my laser printer (usually due to licensing restrictions, I assume) but they convert to PDF fine.

Although I tend to agree with Eggles that the problem is a corrupt font more than likely. PM is touchy with less than perfect fonts where other apps will work.

When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.
