Hi, I have a family of documents with the following properties: - they use a special self-designed TrueType font with custom encoding - the are created on a Solaris machine using ghostscripts ps2pdf The problem is that the resulting pdf-documents behave very differently when printed (from the same computer to the same printer) with Acrobat Reader 5.1 or 6.0. - Both versions display the documents just fine, both versions show that the font is embedded (using document-properties, ...) - printing with Acrobat Reader 6.0 works just fine as well - printing with Acrobat Reader 5.1 only prints squares (or the letter 'z' on some printers) except for three characters (dash, u-umlaut, o-umlaut) - printing with Acrobat Reader 5.1 and choosing 'print as graphics" works well but is very slow (no surprise here) Any idea how I can persuade version 5.1 to print the documents correctly? It would be nice that could be achieved by just adjusting the Reader. Changing the creation process or the font is an option if I knew what to do, but persuading our customer to upgrade to Acrobat Reader 6.0 is not feasable at this time. Regards, Ulrich Elsner
