What do you think about converting all text to outlines? That'll solve the problem, but I don't know if it has "collateral damages...<br>

nice punishment if the publisher wants to use Illustrator!<br>

Seriously, if this is only a *printing* problem, my advise is to build a postscript file with all included/downloaded fonts. One of my sons has worked for 6 weeks in a printer's shop with a heavy duty printer that prints and cuts all kinds of material, and they used a PC for the printing because it has the right PS driver that interprets a certain curve color as a shape to cut in the material. Even at home, most of our problems are solved by outputting postscript and then using distiller. I am not familiar enough with ghostscript to give advice on it.<br>
