I am looking at 2ed.

There is a dash in 12.3.3, first paragraph, 3rd line.

It should read:

"for a particular port- for example, a reg or wire".

Instead, the dash disappears and the following is received in the
IEEE PDF:

"for a particular port for example, a reg or wire".

Since other dashes do appear in the 2ed IEEE PDF, for example near the
bottom of the same page,
"NOTE-", there may be something special about this dash.

It should be checked since it probably occurs elsewhere in the document
as well.
12.3.3 is only an example.

In the PDF I created privately from the Frame source, the dash does come
out correctly.

OK,

The problem seems to be that the "em dashes" in TimesNewRoman font did not
come out in the IEEE PDF.
Those that were in Times font did come out. The document is a mixture of Times
and TimesNewRoman fonts.

The two fonts are almost identical and indistinguishable in practice,
so that the immediate fix is to find those "em dashes" in TimesNewRoman font
and change them to Times font.
There are still quite a few. That I can easily do.

That will still leave the problem of other special symbols which don't come
out.
I currently don't see a general way to handle them.
I need to rely on people to find those problems and report them to me so that
I can discover
in each case what causes the problem and find a solution.

Shalom
