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.
