RE: More dropping letters in PDFs... <sigh>

[Robin Clark <rmclark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dov & Steve,

I experienced the *exact* same problem as Steve when I installed the AdobePS
4.3. Unlike Steve, I specified using the font substitution table and sending
the TTFs as Outlines - I am using Acrobat 3.X on my system (Win95). My
"solution" was to revert to 4.2.6.

The fonts used in the document are the Century Schoolbook and Univers
families. Both fonts experienced the dropped character syndrome, from page 1
to the end - each and every "c" or "C" had been annihilated.

Also, the bold Univers displayed like output from a misaligned typewriter
(i.e., no baseline alignment). Another issue was that I was no longer able
to perform my 11X11 custom page trick for creating a PDF from a book
containing mixed page orientations (portrait vs. landscape), and thus no
longer able to create a workable PDF for those manuals (LONG story).

Like Steve, I had not experienced the dropped character syndrome (or the
other ailments cited above) until I installed 4.3.

BTW, when I changed the 4.3 TTF table to send Type 42, just for grins, all
the characters/fonts displayed as vertical blocks - the only font property
preserved was the weight.

Hay mi dos pesos.
