FrameMaker9 Character Set - Dixieland problems

I just opened my first documents from FM 7.2 in FM 9 and all my Dixieland fonts in bulleted lists are mixed up. Strangely, the Geographic Symbols seem to work fine in bulleted lists.

Thanks for the replies. However, I have many overriders in my paragraphs, so this will include a lot of manual work in a 460 page book. There must be some explanation for the switch in interpretation of some picture fonts when moving to FM9. When I choose a Dixieland symbol from scratch for a bu

For Russian, you need to have the font Arial CYR installed. Times new Roman CYR and a few other fonts are also available. I remember downloading these from Microsoft. The Arial font is in a file called arial32.exe. I have published several books in Russian with FM6 and FM7 without problems. I
