I have to rephrase my original posting. The pdfs are all fine. Only at the moment of inclusion (with pdflatex) do some characters disappear. I can produce exaples where characters become visible or not depending on the page where you open the pdf. I know this sounds WEIRD, but I tried to view the pdflatex produced pdf on two different machines and had the same result. See http://www.cs.ucc.ie/~dongen/talk.pdf Next look at pages 8 and 28. Depending on how I open the document I can't see one letter (an L or a D) on the left at the bottom of one of these pages before the #-sign. However, if I close the document with and open it with again I CAN see it but then the letter on the other page dissapears. I can produce similar examples as well and they only seem to happen in math mode. Any ideas? Regards, Marc
