Glenn, my reading of the control sequence(s) is that these glyphs are being individually positioned in PDF; I see 12 separate Tm operators. I ideally we should see a single BT with a string containing 14 bytes which would imply that acrobat handles all the glyph positioning. I believe that the text strings are actually using two bytes per glyph; the map looks like 6 beginbfchar <006d> <00e3> <047a> <0303> <0690> <0186> <0699> <0190> <0727> <0254> <072d> <025b> endbfchar so the byte strings required correspond to the first of each pair. 006d = 00 m = \000m 047a = 04 z = ^Dz the tilde 06?? = 06 ?? = ^f? 0727 = 07 ' = ^G' 072d = 07 - = ^G- etc etc. My mailer can't actually cope with the odd characters in the 06 lines. -- Robin Becker
