Thanks to Mojca and others for the warning. I postponed the update
earlier today just because I was busy with something else: now I see
I dodged a bullet.<br>

printing issue affects not only open type fonts, but also embedded
pdf-graphics ((Xe)LaTeX produced files with (embedded) musical
notation (pdf) done with lilypond-book print all sorts of weird
things, just not the musical notation). The music-pdf file prints
fine as a stand-alone, the text prints fine as stand-alone, no
pdf-graphics for me. So, warning still stands, and it may be worth
waiting until Apple has fixed this (my students are running my
door down! It's dissertation-submitting-time here.)

<div>A not-so pleasant workaround is to use Acrobat for printing,
and choose from the Printer dialogue ->Advanced->Print as
Image. However, that is also not perfect... (Chinese mixed with
a Western OTF font can give nasty surprises.)</div>

HI,<br>
<br>
I am on 10.6.7 and do not have any problems with fonts and
printing!<br>
I believe their is a simple fix. Delete the font caches.<br>
<br>
I can not remeber the the source, but deleting the font
cache seems to<br>
fix the problem!<br>
<br>
