I tend to agree that the problem is gpdf. I recently downloaded and installed the free true-type font Gentium: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Gentium_linux The package includes proofs of the font in pdf files. Acrobat Reader and GGV display the proper font, gpdf makes a font substitution. I noticed your using Bitstream Vera Sans. I have the same problem with this font. OK, I just tried something that suggests that OOo contributes to this problem. Instead of running the Writer file through the pdf converter, I printed to a file (postscript) and then ran that through ps2pdf: $ ps2pdf Test.ps The resulting pdf renders properly in gpdf. I'd experiment some more, but it's time for bed. HTH, Jeff -- > Best, Darren > > -- > ===================================================================== > D. D.
