Hmm. I do need to examine it in different viewers... Nope. Adobe Acrobat 
gives the same results as Apple's PDF implementation.

I'm a bit stuck with DVI: dvipdfmx has trouble seeing the converted Mac 
font as a TTF font. (Once I worked through the difference in map file 
format...) Clearly there's a disagreement on which tables are required.

Thanks, though. The negative offset is not a big problem. The only weird 
thing is the feature interaction I also posted about.
