and your words also inspired me to get the oldstyle figures out in
dtpj. Except that the oldstyle figures are named
"one/two/three.textoldstyle" in order to be distinguished from
"one/two/three.taboldstyle" etc. So what I did is edit t1cj.etx, change
\setcommand\digit#1{#1oldstyle} to \setcommand\digit#1{#1.textoldstyle}
and save it under another encoding file, etc.<br>

it is a good idea to try the result out on the latest Adobe Reader.
You may find that your work simply results in an unusable PDF unless
you subscribe to Adobe. com. For the moment, I have to do so, but that
still does not answer the question of the loss of archival PDFs.<br>

I didn't seem to come across the problem using Acrobat Pro, and Acrobat
Reader 9 under Linux. To my experience, PDFs generated by pdfLaTeX are
highly compatible.<br>
<br>
I've uploaded a test file on Rapidshare proofing the DinText font that,
you can see if your Reader can get it correctly displayed.<br

Acrobat Pro is what the Adobe.com site uses, so I am sure it works
fine. I would like to avoid it, and to continue the use of
Ghostscript. There is where the problem lies. There, and with the
loss of PDF archives that can still be displayed on Reader 6 and 7, but
not on 8 and 9.<br>

I suppose that Acrobat Pro gives you the option of writing XPDF/3, but
it sure doesn't offer it on the Adobe.com site. Does it give you the
ability to set Trimbox, Bleedbox and Mediabox to different values?
That seems to be available only with the << >>
setdistillerparams convention, and I find nothing in PDFTeX that
recognizes the need for this or that offers a way to introduce
distillerparams. This has become a necessity with up-to-date printing
houses, which no longer pay attention to visible crop marks (in fact,
they deplore them).<br>
