     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.
