Do you also have problems in DVI mode? 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. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
