That's a good policy.
Can you put it on a website, and post the URL ?

 ... sure, send it to me if you cannot make it available otherwise.


By the way, have you tried printing these files from Acrobat 5 ?
Do you get font substitutions ?

This probably isn't patched for the font-fix.
So I'd like to redo the files with the latest version, includes the fix,
>from my (non-Mac) Unix box. If that displays under MacOS 10.x,
then great; it helps to isolate where problems are occurring.
If it also crashes under MacOS X, then at least it removes a possible
objection from Apple/Adobe that TeX is using bad fonts.

Of course there's a problem in Apple's software anyway (and Adobe's);
but we should be seen to be doing as much as possible from our end, too.


Cheers,

	Ross
