I don't know anything further to help Eustace. But the above comment about font substitution is very interesting. I also hate it. But I was unaware that it occurred only in certain forks. Then again, I have always used whatever is the current no-go version for my Linux distro. As far as I know, I have always had automatic font substitution going on. It's especially annoying in that it doesn't always work. E.g., the substituted glyph appears on screen, but fails to print. Or if it prints, the glyph disappears when exporting to PDF. I'd really like to know more about which forks do this and which do not. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
