Hi,

I used the outline font in my application. It all works fine on the 
printer and when pdf is created using ps2pdf.
However, when the same file is processed with Adobe Distiller or
with Preview on my Mac, I get a black page (not blank, black!).

The exact example from the Blue Book behaves the same way (p. 205).

Is there anything I should change in the settings of the Distiller or
there is another way of getting the custom outline font?

TIA

Michael
