Hi Ross,

Hi Hillary.
Yes, that may happen. Especially if "Hillary" is more common in your country than "Hilmar" ;-)

No urgency, as I won’t be able to look at it until tomorrow. (Sydney time)
All files attached in the hope they are useful.

Generating the  ToUnicode  resources is failing.

Have a look at the attached file, generated with:

rossmoore at ITS-C02GC05JQ05P uncompressed % ls *.pdf

1054218_amd64_uncomp.pdf 1054218_ppc64_uncomp.pdf

rossmoore at ITS-C02GC05JQ05P uncompressed % diff -a *.pdf > diffs.txt

With

> /PTEX.Fullbanner (This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (TeX Live 2023/Debian) kpathsea version 6.3.5)

the ToUnicode map is all  <0000>s  .

But it’s OK with

< /PTEX.Fullbanner (This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.24 (TeX Live 2022/Debian) kpathsea version 6.3.4)

Hope this helps you track the cause.

Cheers.
