[pdftex] Strange printing problem

[Ulrich Dirr]

The last result was: Even on the other rip the pdf failed. When converting
all to curves (with Solvero) the film is ok. I strongly suspect that the
special font is broken somehow. The pdf itself looks ok. It selects the
correct font numbers.

Best regards,
Ulrich Dirr
