Just to emphasize the lack of pdf tools, and goad anyone who can into showing
me I'm wrong,
let me illustrate how you could find some suspects on your own with well know
tools.
Imagine what you could do if you could convert a pdf to a canonical or
intermediate form
that played nice with decades or prior work LOL.
( these may get distorted by hotmail. hotmail of course things everything is
html... )
Your earlier comments about truetype are plausible with a quick scan of the
two docs for
overt font refs,
560 wget -O B -S -v "http://www.windwardreports.com/temp/primf.pdf";
561 wget -O G -S -v "http://www.windwardreports.com/temp/primf2.pdf";
562 strings G> gs
563 strings B> Bs
564 mv gs Gs
565 more Gs
566 more Bs
567 more Bs | grep -i font
