Hmm, you're right. Randomly checking a few files, I see that in each, the SeparatorsIX pgf uses a different font than the Level<n>IX and IndexIX pgfs (in fact, in each case it's the same as GroupTitlesIX). I have no recollection of ever consciously making that so, but I've consistently seen the behavior that this apparently introduces for many years, docs, and FM versions. And as I noted, that's the behavior of at least some of Adobe's docs (and of PDFs from other sources that I've encountered). Mind you, I prefer that behavior, so I'm glad that someone long ago made SeparatorsIX different, and I have no intention of changing it. It seems odd to me to have the text of an index entry hyperlinked to the first of several pages that the entry references. It seems perfectly natural, OTOH, to click the page number -- even if there is only one. But getting back to Eduardo's question, I suspect you've provided the answer for him: check the SeparatorsIX definition. Richard G.
