I'm looking at that right as we speak actually, but poppler tends to be a bit "iffy" with renderinf some PDF's. I plan to publish an experimental SVN snapshot port of TL soon.

Working with TL team to fix this. -- Best Regards Edd Barrett (Freelance software developer / technical writer / open-source developer) http://students.dec.bmth.ac.uk/ebarrett
