Hi Christopher,
Can you please file this as a bug at http://bugzilla.abisource.com/ - and
when you have created the bug, can you please attach to it:
1. the AbiWord file that produces the bug
2. the output PostScript file
3. a screenshot of the output when viewed by gv
There have been some oddities with printing Symbol font before. A Bugzilla
query for "symbol print" turned up 5 bugs. The most similar to your
problem isBug 1593 "Printing 2 symbols in a row turns them into degrees."
See http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1593 for details.
Regards
Stephen Viles.
