well, no, not quite such a simple fix... since the printing issue affects not only open type fonts, but also embedded pdf-graphics ((Xe)LaTeX produced files with (embedded) musical notation (pdf) done with lilypond-book print all sorts of weird things, just not the musical notation). The music-pdf file prints fine as a stand-alone, the text prints fine as stand-alone, no pdf-graphics for me. So, warning still stands, and it may be worth waiting until Apple has fixed this (my students are running my door down! It's dissertation-submitting-time here.)
A not-so pleasant workaround is to use Acrobat for printing, and choose from the Printer dialogue ->Advanced->Print as Image. However, that is also not perfect... (Chinese mixed with a Western OTF font can give nasty surprises.) I'm downgrading to 10.6.6 at the weekend... Rembrandt Wolpert (BTW. The files show perfectly in Preview, Skim, Google, and print perfectly on a (fortunately) not-yet-upgraded 10.6.6 machine in the next room.) On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 14:33, Keith J.
