Leonard, I'm fascinated by this. The notion in the back of my mind has been that the reproducability of a PDF page based on the Base14 fonts was dependant on the availability of an identical font in the renderer. I know that xpdf, for example, uses fonts that do not have exacly the same metrics. How does Acrobat handle this? By substituting its own, known to be exact, fonts? Peter -- Peter B.
