He didn't know and didn't care how they were encoded. You said earlier that your PDF document contained URW fonts. URW is the name of the maker of the font. It doesn't describe the encoding, although they have made availiable a stack of Type 1 fonts to Ghostscript. See http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/fonts/urw.html. I guess that's why ps->pdf produces a nice looking document in Acroread. > Also if this was the case then surely it wouldn't be > Adobe Reader specific? I'm afraid it reaally is Acroread (Adobe Reader)-specific. -- Angus
