An author has sent us some graphics made with a program called "inkscape". The eps file has this coding:

/newlatin1font {findfont dup length dict copy dup
    /Encoding ISOLatin1Encoding put definefont} def

/(Times-Roman-ISOLatin1) /(Times-Roman) newlatin1font

I don't think that I have ever seen parens used in this way before. It seems to produce this error in Distiller (I'm using Distiller 5 on unix):

12:27 prdsgm@snort:/<7>diagrams% still cone-on-square.eps
