FWIW, I get very different output on-screen with and without the -o 
option.  Without it, I get the ff:
--------------

** NOTICE: This document contains a `Preview & Print only' licensed font **

** NOTICE: This document contains an embedded font with licensing 
restrictions **
--------------

With the -o, I get a whole lot of warning etc. msgs, things like
    Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (12.0pt)
They seem to be similar to, but not all the same as, what goes into the 
.log file.

When I use re-direction (the first method above, these warnings appear 
to go into the .pdf file.  I suspect if I redirected only stdout, the 
warnings would go to the terminal instead.  But they seem to do that 
with the -o option anyway, so I'm using that.  (I suppose one of the 
other options would turn off the msgs, maybe the -interaction flag.)

Is your Latex so clean that you don't get any warnings?

BTW, how do I determine what font has the licensing restrictions 
(referred to in the above 'NOTICE')?  I don't see anything in the .log file.
