Hello and thanks in advance.
I have a PDF ebook, with some em-dashes. They appear OK throughout the
ebook. On the last page of this ebook, page 308, one reader reported
that the em-dashes are missing. They are not missing when I view the
page on my Mac using "Preview"; the reader has a Mac with "Preview"
and he cannot see the em-dashes.
However, when he "copies" the page text, and then places this text
into an email, the em-dashes appear.
I thought that I had embedded the font for Times Roman or New Times
Roman; but maybe the embedding is the problem.
The two missing em-dashes appear after the word "likewise" on the
first line,
and after the words "of course" on the second line of the page.
The PDF document (one page) can be downloaded from this folder:
http://www.wuala.com/zorbapress/zorba-tests
And thanks again to anyone who can help to solve this mystery.

The dashes are present when viewed with xpdf under Ubuntu Karmic.
Isn't there some problem with Mac font caches in Preview?

Thanks, Peter. ...
I didn't know about that font cache problem: I will look into that.
