shrug-l: North Arrow

[Sykes, John]

Ken:

Two issues are apparent in your request.  First, as someone else pointed out,
be sure that the ESRI symbols are in your character set.  Second, I noticed
that if I exported a map as a PDF file, people were getting strange symbols
when they downloaded the maps.  The reason was that they did not have the
ESRI character set loaded on their computer, so Acrobat picked what it
thought was the closest thing, which happened to be the Symbol character set.
You can avoid this problem if you turn on the "Embed all document fonts"
option.

Everyone,

I have a question about north arrow defaults in ArcMap 9.1.  For some reason
my north arrows have changed to other symbols.  When I select 'North Arrow
Style', the usual north arrows are missing and are now showing numbers and
strange symbols.  Is there a way to revert back to the default north arrow
selections?  If you have experienced this problem or have a suggestion,
please let me know.

Thanks,

Ken
