Interesting!

The page works in FlexiPDF (my other tool), albeit with some overlapping text 
(probably implying a font problem, I guess).

In Adobe Acrobat Pro, I get an error message and no text whatsoever.

Hmmm ... I will reload the font and see what happens ...

Hmmm ... I don't know if the attached screen-capture will come through on this 
list, but this is the message I get.

It is a pop-up window from Adobe Acrobat that says "The font 'SourceSansPro' 
contains bad /Widths."

Needless to say, most of the info on those pages does not show at all ... 

I will try another PDF program, and also see if I can delete/reload the font on 
my system to "cure" this issue. 

A question though: shouldn't I expect the font to be "embedded" in the PDF to 
begin with? Which might likely mean a source problem?

I haven't seen any error messages. I hope that's not the case. Our corporate 
font is Open Sans, but the tech docs department needs a lot of glyphs that 
aren't included in it. Source Sans was the closest we could come, and I do not 
want to have to go looking for another font.
