It's "d" in the "Glorantha Font" - which may be why it didn't print
correctly. If the printer doesn't have the correct font, the layout/print
program will use a default one like Ariel or Times Roman. So I assume that
one rune was in the Glorantha Font instead of the Core Font and so was not
included in the set of fonts sent to the printer. The Omega problem seems to
be related to the fact that the layout and pre-print was done on a Mac, and
the printer used a PC. Usually no problem, but...
