Thanks Dinu. In fact I'd be very interested to know whether the same
problem occurs on a Mac.

The attachment at the bottom of the message at

is a very small PDF using that font. The script that generated it is
shown in the message.

Thanks Robin. Is that the standard 'arial', or 'Arial Unicode MS'
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial_Unicode_MS)?

Thanks,

Simon
