10.1.1 fixed the bugs I know of that made Quartz crash. It also fixed
the bug that made Acrobat 5 flash between pages in full screen mode
(thus eliminating the need to run Acrobat 4 in Classic for certain types
of PDF presentations).
It does not fix the bug with the multiple fonts, but viewing them in
Acrobat is a workaround.

Ah excellent. I hadn't realised that. It hasn't fixed the lack
of transitions in Acrobat 5. I assume that is Acrobat not
Mac OS X ?
Thanks - Michael

Does anyone have the latest Ghostscript installed? If so, does 10.1.1
work well now. It would be nice to use the latest Ghostscript instead of
using GS 6...

This problem has not been fixed in 10.1.1 so I still am @ GS 6. However,
there seem to be other problems with gs6 hat gs7 fixes so there might be
a choice of evils here. If people convince me 7 is the better choice
(even if the multiple font problem remains) I'll upgrade my package.

Yes. Acrobat does all the PDF itself (it is Acrobat after all) and
doesn't rely on the PDF in Quartz, except for very basic view stuff (and
some of that has been fixed in 10.1.1 so that full screen page
transitions do not 'flash'). At least you have active elements and some
transitions with AR5. With Quartz and Cocoa-apps like Preview you have
none of those.

I'd vote for gs 7, personally. The font embedding is much better.
What's the exact problem with gs 7 and Quartz? If I remember correctly, it
has to do with mixing pk and type 1 fonts in the same document. Since I
almost never use pk fonts, this isn't a problem for me. Although I guess
there aren't yet free Type 1 versions of European Modern, so maybe this is
a serious issue for some people.

Thanks Gerben,
Are the transitions available in 5 documented anywhere ? I guess
I could make a document with all possible transitions in it
and try :-)
