Howdy,

The sequence for bullets (i.e., "\symbola{7}" ) is not being recognized by EZ
in 7.4; instead, the "7" character is being passed through unformatted.  (In
7.3, the sequence is correctly displayed as a bullet).  I noticed it first in
OLH (i.e., in the "ezv" command), but it appears in plain "ez" sessions as
well, so it is not related to OLH.

An example file:

  attach logos
  ez /mit/logos/olh/Working/Working/prelogin.olh

(This is the same file displayed by the command: "help @working:prelogin".)

Note that the actual text file has the following explicit ez command in it
(this info might be relevant to Bill...):

  \define{symbola

  attr:[FontFamily AndySymbola Int 0]}

Is AndySymbola missing?  Has the use of "7" for bullets been changed?

Let me know if you need more info.
