Hi all,
Lutz Haseloff encountered a bug (thanks for reporting) in the mp to pdf
converter concerning including fonts and moveto's. Only acrobat viewers
suffer from this phenomena, which is also slightly random. This showing up
is a result of a change in supp-pdf regarding higher precision and
circumventing unwanted clipping in forms. I repaired the bug, so the new
version will migrate to mirrors within a few days (the impatient can pick
up the latest context). Sorry for the troubles.
Hans

Hi. What are the specific things we should look for to determine
whether our applications are affected by the bug? If things are
generally looking fine, are we OK, or should we expect possible
surprises?

You can only expect problems when you use fonts in mp files (which I never
do so this is why it went unnoticed -)
