-<h3>Characters missing from PDF output</h3>
-<p/>If you&rsquo;re using <i>Acrobat</i> <i>Distiller</i> to create your
-PDF output, you may find
-characters missing. This may manifest
-itself as messed-up maths equations (missing
-&ldquo;-&rdquo; signs, for example), or bits missing
-from large symbols. Early versions of <i>Distiller</i> used to
-ignore character positions 0&ndash;31 and 128&ndash;159 of every font: Adobe&rsquo;s
-fonts never use such positions, so why should <i>Distiller</i>?
-<p/>Well, the answer to this question is &ldquo;because Adobe don&rsquo;t produce all
-the world&rsquo;s fonts&rdquo; &mdash; fonts like <i>Computer</i>
-<i>Modern</i> were around before Adobe came on the scene, and
-<em>they</em> use positions 0&ndash;31. Adobe don&rsquo;t react to complaints like
-that in the previous sentence, but they do release new versions of
-their programs; and <i>Distiller</i>, since at least version 4.0,
-<em>has</em> recognised the font positions it used to shun.
-<p/>Meanwhile, TeX users with old versions of <i>Distiller</i> need
-to deal with their fonts. <i>Dvips</i> comes to our aid: the
-switch <code>-G1</code> (&ldquo;remap characters&rdquo;), which moves the offending
-characters out of the way. The PDF configuration file
-(<code>-Ppdf</code>), recommended
-in &ldquo;<a href="FAQ-fuzzy-type3.html">the wrong type of fonts</a>&rdquo;,
-includes the switch.
-<p/>The switch is not without its problems; pre-2003 versions of
-<i>dvips</i> will apply it to Adobe fonts as well, causing
-<a href="FAQ-charshift.html">havoc</a>, but fortunately
-that problem is usually soluble. However, a document using both
-CM and Adobe-specified fonts is stuck. The only real solution
-is either to upgrade <i>dvips</i>, or to spend money to upgrade
-<i>Distiller</i>.
