On my PM G5, when looking at a document in Word 2004 that has a formula in it created in Symbol font, the Symbol characters are not shown and in their place are open squares. Symbol shows in my menu, but it doesn't allow me to create anything in that font. The proper characters in this file are visible on my Cube using the same Word 2004, and they are also visible on the G5 in Word X. I thought that perhaps the Symbol font wasn't properly installed so I looked in the Library and couldn't see the font. I then copied it from an old system X folder (Symbol.dfont) and briefly saw the right characters, but the next time I opened the file in Word 2004 the open boxes were back. Thinking that something was wrong with the font, I opened up FontBook and saw it there. I then inactivated it and reactivated it, but it didn't fix anything. I'm out of ideas for how to fix this, so I'm hoping that one of you has a suggestion. Thanks.
