Hi Bruno, thanks for the reply. No,  I haven't.
I was aware of the fact that TeXniscope hasn't been updated for a  
while. I was still
using an old ibook until very recently so I didn't have to worry about  
TeXniscope's behavior
on the new intel macs.  I  just discovered "skim" and it looks very  
good.

Do you know what might cause this strange font problem ?

Has anyone else encountered this problem ?

Thanks,
PM
