Changing symbol setup in a Symbol Set
Yeah, the origin of the symbol (i.e. the point it will snap to) will normally be in the center or on the edge of the whole BITMAP (depending on how it was imported).
But since the bitmap is irregular and will probably have various transparent bits around the edges, this will not automatically align with something the user sees as the center of the symbol (e.g. in this example, the center of the statue's circular plinth or the center of the figure).

Changing symbol setup in a Symbol Set
To change the insertion point of a symbol do the following:
- Go to Symbol > Symbol Manager and EDIT the symbol you want to change.
- Use View > Move Origin to place the origin at the location you want the insertion point to be.
- Close and save the symbol editing window.
If you want to change the sheet a symbol goes to automatically, select the symbol in the Symbol Manager, and click Options. It will let you change the destination sheet.
You can make the changes in the current drawing you are working on, if you want them only for that map. If you want them changed for all maps, open up the original symbol catalog they are contained in and make the same changes there.

issue with font
That might be an indication of an export doing a second rendering pass with a little "hiccup". Try this:
Type EXPORTSETMPPP and hit enter. The command line will show you a number. If you haven't ever changed the setting before it will be 4000000 (four million). Type 40000000 (40 million) and hit enter, then try again.
