At the time I made that discovery I was using WIN98SE. Now I'm on 2000 but since I made the change I've been using Acrobat, so I can't compare on 2000.
The printer driver to make the listings was not very important. I tried with a series of many found on my Win98 installation disk. They were all PS printer drivers. I think I used Apple LaserWriter, HP, and some other well-known brands. All yielded the same results, so I concluded that it was probably PStill doing the trick, but this is not conclusive. I tried all sorts of combinations trying to get Adobe's Distiller to eat a PS file made by a non-Adobe driver, and if I remember correctly, I had no success. I also got very nervous. Proceed with these experiments with caution. Your font setups might get really mixed up in the process. True Type Fonts, PSFonts, Font Folders, PS Default Fonts, Font Encoding, Font Metrics Calculations, Font Substitution Tables, System Registry Font Installation Data, etc. I shudder when I think about it.
