I also think this is a font problem, fonts on Mac and PC (in office and other applications) do not always contain all the same extra symbols, even if the font family and name is exactly the same. this is something i deal with allot, i recommend using a font by Microsoft that is installed on Mas OS X ( i assume you are using Leopard 10.5) here is a list you can try from <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/macosx.htm">http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/macosx.htm</a> or use an OTF font from Adobe.<br>

I suspect font as well. Try with something that’s most likely to have common character maps across both operating systems, like Courier or Helvetica, and see what happens.<br>
