Hi Robert, Spurred on by that idea in my last email, I added a global @font-family definition to the fo:root of the document, and after regenerating the .ps, I was happy to find no references to fonts other than Palatino. And Distiller processes the file without a hiccup.
Thanks so much for helping me find the combination of settings that got me over this roadblock! Please let me know if I can do any further testing on this issue to help.
