Hi John (or are you Mary?),


No offense, but this sounds as if it must be something you're overlooking,

such as right-justification of text or having edited the center of the

symbol.  When you recreated this in other fonts, did you start from scratch

or just change the font in the existing symbol?  Have you tried cutting and

pasting frames to see if it replicates the problem?  Have you copied the

frames to a blank .fla?


Weird stuff like this can be pretty elusive, and sometimes it just takes a

fresh set of eyes to find it.  Please put the .fla on a server somewhere so

we can have a look if possible.
