Acrobat Reader 9 does not display Type 3 fonts correctly for quite a few of our older, PDF version 1.2 PDF files in our products, where normal Acrobat or Digital Editions show no such problem. It only shows the bottom part of the glyphs but then shifted to the top of the glyph area.

Type 3 fonts are not supported. You will need to move to Type 1 or OTF 
fonts.

Hmm, this cannot be, as this is legacy material from 1997. There is no way that this can be changed using Type 1 or OTF fonts other than retypesetting everything from scratch, I fear, and that will be just too much expensive work. Interestingly, Acrobat Reader 8 and the latest Adobe Digital Editions display these PDFs correctly, so I have no alternative other than assume that the changes in the font rendering mechanism in Reader 9 are responsible for this. I am checking these files with Acrobat 9 Professional shortly...

This is not the forum to address Adobe. We are fellow users. If you to 
tell Adobe of your concerns:

is the place to do it.
