thanks for the report. Turns out that the ItalicAngle*s* typo has nothing to do
with pdftex, but originates from PyX, where the (unrelated) bug of non-integer
StemV values in pdftex discussed in this thread was observed.

Thanks for the details shown in your analysis. I wasn't aware of this nice
acrobat feature identifying such issues in PDF files. Good to know, really!
While I'm constantly using acrobat prefligh to analyse and sometimes fix
various PDF files I collect elsewhere, I just did know this report type.

I've just fixed it in PyX (https://sourceforge.net/p/pyx/code/3683/).

Best,


André
