Hi all, for your information: My problem with <sub> and ghostscript is a bug in ghostscript. A patch is proposed in http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-code-review/2003-April/003749.html Unfortunately, I can not compile ghostscript on my own on Windows 32. Maybe a kind soul in reportlab-users could send me a patched ghostscript binary for Win32? Henning
