Thanks for persevering on this issue, Lin. Good to hear that it's paying off in Adobe's finally giving what seems serious attention to the kind of seemingly-trivial problem that's really a serious flaw.
Back in the day, I spent a few weeks tracking-down a consistent product misbehavior that gave different results when a user created a data query that applied two sort operations before or after the other. None of the technical experts who'd developed the product I interviewed, could explain why the equivalent queries returned different results. I finally uncovered notes in the SQL industry standards documents that this company's early design statements acknowledged they would include language extensions known to allow such non-standard behavior. There fix in documentation was, "expect different results from such queries." D'OH! :) On Fri, Sep 25, 2020, 4:09 PM Lin Sims <ljsims...@gmail.com> wrote: > For those who may (or may not) be interested, I tried creating a PDF from > the same TOC file after substituting different fonts in.
