Nope, just a comment on what I'm seeing. It is in a textbook being 
offered for sale by a major publisher through Coursesmart.com. It isn't 
a matter of encoding. The text is missing---all ligatures, all curly 
quotes or double qoutes. I'm used to seeing different characters due to 
encoding issues. The characters are just missing---on a Mac with Safari, 
Camino, Firefox and on Windows XP with MSIE 6 and 7. However, the 
placement of n and m-dashes are better in MSIE. On the mac side, the 
dashes literally pass through the characters on the left and right of 
the dash.

Its not our typography that is the issue, but the conversion tools being 
used. PDF would be fine if they used them. Eventually, they'll either

a) have better tools (unlikely)
b) switch to pdf (I hope)
c) start telling the people who prepare their books for print, not to 
use ligatures, etc since it screws up their online offerings (all too 
likely).

Who knows, maybe they'll insist on having all their books created in 
ASCII using Courier. I look forward to the return of ASCII line-art---not.
