Well it is no joke to me, I have also had this problem with PDF files
likely written with linux programs, being read with adobe in MS
windows...I have skirted the issue by transfering the files to linux
and reading them there with linux tools.
Perhaps the description of multicolored fonts that you say X
dosn't support is what is throwing you off here...the fonts do appear
to be multicolored but actually they are triple randitions of the font
superimposed in red, green ,blue, rather than true multicolor?
although the fonts are rendered they are offset just enough to make a
mess.
