Default Bullet Tab Font is ALWAYS Arial!

Which font is being used for the bullet? If it is a symbol font, perhaps
there is no tab character in its character set. Similar replacements occur
all the time behind the scenes, when a particular character is not available
in the font applied to text.

HI Everyone;




I'm trying to figure out how to change the default font of the TAB
that


follows a bulletted character.




In a few important documents I regualrly convert them to Adobe PDF,
and I'm


trying to minimize the number of used and embedded fonts.




The only reason the Arial font keeps showing up in my PDF is because,
for


some reason, the tab character following my bullets is formatted as
Arial,


even though the font of the bullet (as it is set using normal
procedures) is


a different font.




Can anyone help? Is there any way to change the tab character to be
a


different font???




I have the exact same problem. Did you ever figure this out?


I am using word 2010. I see this problem with both printing to PS and
with save as PDF. I even have this problem if I make a blank document
using my normal template and just put a bullet list in it. I believe my
normal template to be unmodified. I have used a custom rule in Acrobat
Pro's preflight checks to identify the arial tab....
