I have also installed 10.6.7 and have not noticed anything – I've just printed out a full score of 15 parts.

 

It does say in the link above

 

These PDF files work correctly in Preview, but may cause problems in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the Mac and in Windows.)

 

So is this a problem with Acrobat and Preview works ok?

 

James

No, the problem occurs in preview, but in skim it seems to work :-)

Hmmm.. well all I can say is 'worksforme'. I don't know much about the different types of fonts (OTF vs TT vs PS1 etc) but is our Emmentaler font or a subset of it supposedly affected by this with regard to that link? I did notice that occasionally that when I use the explicit \flat command that glyph 'sometimes' doesn't print out but I've always had that as far as I can remember.

James

well, saying its related to 10.6.7 is just relying on the fact, that my PDFs doesn't print correctly ... on an HP inkjet (in case its a difference to a laser/postscript capable printer) ... since I installed 10.6.7. And reinstalling printerdrivers doesn't make a difference.
I will investigate further and print with ubuntu and/or skim for now (thanks to mike for that hint)
