Well, I kinda expected that anyone else running Ubuntu, using Ocular and
xpdf would see the same thing. I run a pretty much stock install of
10.4. I installed Adobe and saw the effect lessened to only one word
affected. So, I wanted others to eyeball it and let me know if it looked
OK or not. If OK, then the problem lies somewhere on my end. But others
report the same thing, including several Windows users. Ric
