Re: Symbol font weirdness in PDF

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

No, there is currently no workaround. I will try to find out
if a driver update will solve this anytime in the not too
distant future.

But quite frankly, why are you worrying about it? The TrueType
version of the font will render just as well as the Type 1 version
on both screen and print.

Bubbameisers and urban legend notwithstanding, there is nothing
wrong with TrueType fonts in general or this TrueType Symbol font
in particular. Any printer or alleged prepress professional who
tells you otherwise is showing either (1) their ignorance, (2) their
arrogance, (3) that they have exceptionally antiquated workflow
software that will probably exhibit other problems with your output,
or (4) a linear combination of (1), (2), and (3)!
