I had expected you to send it to me directly as some folks on this list
are still using very slow dialup connections.  Anyway, got it now & will
test on all systems in about 30 minutes.

I have nVidia, Intel, and AT drivers across my systems so I'll let you
know how they appear. As an added note: I recommend that you download
and install the latest Adobe Reader 9.1.0:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.1/enu/
[AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i386linux_enu.deb       61875 KB        02/28/2009

It includes the ability to have multiple documents open and you can tab
between them for easy checking. Along these lines, I noted that when I
was testing the initial formala, OOo export to PDF did not include some
fonts that printing to a cups-pdf printer did. For example, OOo export
included ony Junicode-Regular (Embedded Subset) and OpenSymbol (Embedded
Subset). Printing via cups-pdf included Junicode-RegularFID232HGSet1 and
Set2 - same for OpenSymbol. Not sure if that will make a difference, but
it's worth looking into.
