OK - thanks very much for letting me know.

Does anyone else on the list use the font "Arial Unicode MS" in their
PDFs, and if so, are they able to print those PDFs on a Postscript
printer? Given that such a simple test case triggers the error, I'm
surprised that I'm the only that's seeing the problem, which leads me to
believe that I'm doing something silly. I would really appreciate it if
someone could confirm that they at least see the same behaviour that I
see.

Thanks again,

Simon
