Re: Problems with PDF
generation
I just totally wiped my HD, reinstalled X.6.6 and reinstalled all
programs. I'll go back to X.6.7 when Apple fixes the problem but no
before. Apple should have fixed this within days of the problem
showing up.
It's interesting reading the thread John points to -- lots of
Apple fanboys tring to say the problems are with the fonts and/or
programs involved. I'm not convinced. As a user of Canvas X -- it is
astonishing that it runs almost perfectly on OS X.6.x five years after
development stopped on it. Clearly, most (probably all) of the
"Canvas bugs" evident in previous years were not Canvas bugs
at all but Apple's OS X bugs which were not corrected in previous OS X
versions, but were finally fixed in X.6.x.
And now at X.6.7 we have a brand new bug! Clearly, it is Apple's
bug and Apple should have publicly acknowledged it and thrown every
engineer they had at it to fix it with all speed.
If this bug had appeared in Windows, the Apple fanboys would have
been howling with glee.
Cheers, geoff

Hi again!
Sounds like you are running into the
problem introduced by the 10.6.7 update. The problem is the fonts. The
problem is well-known, but I can't recall a solution at this point,
apart from downgrading to 10.6.6 or using different fonts.
So I was bitten by installing updates when proffered by Apple. Is
there any relatively painless way to back off to 10.6.6 ??
Here's a work-around which replaces the ATS framework, and reportedly
helps. If you don't like it, run the 10.6.7 updater to restore it to
your current setup.
From: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13374743#13374743
I have created a standard installation package to fix the Adobe font
issue.
It replaces only the affected ATS.framework binaries with the 10.6.6
versions.
