Hyphens replaced with weird characters in EPS files

This may be an Adobe question, but I doubt it, because the problem seems to occur within Sibelius when I export graphics files.

I am exporting a score from Sibelius 6.2 into Adobe InDesign EPS format using the Export Graphics option in Sibelius. When I place the file in InDesign, the hyphens in the lyric lines, which were correct in the workspace in Sibelius, have been replaced with a character similar to an @ symbol.

It appears to be random. I have placed nearly 100 scores into one InDesign document and five of those 100 are corrupt. I can fix the problem by copying and pasting the staves into a new document, but that also involves re-typing the lyric lines. I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like.
