I hope so: the files from generic/doc (supp-*.pdf and a few others).

My Linux version does not have any problem with them, but that proves
precisely nothing except that perhaps Linux is better supported by
Adobe.

The GPFL.. portion indicates that this is a subsetted font. 

There are differences between the different PDF files, but I don't
know those off-hand. I assume Hans can (and will) tell you right away.

I'm sorry that I can't help you any further. The problem seems to be
SUN-only.

Good luck again,

Taco
