 Thak you for your test. This give me a bit of comfort ;)
 however, in my linux system I verified that all is going well.
 It is a XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-0.9998 (TeX Live 2012/Debian)

 I need pstrick, so the error remains...

Really? For what? Why can't you use tikz?

 Any advice!?

Unlike me you have a system where it works and a system where it
doesn't work, so you can try to figure out what is the crucial
difference. Perhaps it is one of the driver files - then it should
be easy to remedy. If the problem resides somewhere in the windows
binaries you will have to make a bug report. 

But use a smaller document for the investigation:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usetheme{Singapore}

\begin{document}
\frame{blub}
\end{document}

Hello Ross,

I attached the whole output, not just the pdf, in the even that you wish
to check the .tex file as well. I've also attached the output, that is
the pasted text from the .pdf as it appears on LO. The font is always
the same, FreeSerif, bundled with Ubuntu.


The locl feature of FreeSerif is a bit problematic (but I’m not sure if 
it’s the only issue here, not having enough time to test thoroughly).


FreeSerif (I tested with the version on CTAN) is a bit inconsistent in 
its glyph naming. In the attached screenshot you see the incriminated 
locl feature of FreeSerif Italic which defines


becyrillic  → serb.be
tecyrillic  → serb.alt_te
decyrillic  → cyrillic.alt_de
gjecyrillic → cyrillic.macedon_gje
pecyrillic  → uni04E3
gecyrillic  → imacron

and in salt (not in the screenshot), there is

shacyrillic → serb.alt_sha

The convention on glyphnaming is, that the base name is before the dot 
and the suffix specifies the variant 
(http://sourceforge.net/adobe/aglfn/wiki/AGL%20Specification/). Thus 
it’s expected that the glyphs be named becyrillic.serb, decyrillic.alt etc.


The replacements of pecyrillic and gecyrillic however are buggy. 
pecyrillic is replaced by uni04E3 which is the cyrillic i with macron 
and gecyrillic is replaced with latin i with macron. When copy/pasting 
from a pdf they may get pasted exactly as these i’s with macra (which in 
my superficial tests with XeLaTeX actually happens). This is the same 
issue as with LinLibertine which I described in my last mail.


Best regards,
Georg

Steve White does know of that kind of inconsistency throughout the fonts. We've 
discussed it among others in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?38810

2013-09-18 Thread Alessandro Ceschini

Hello everybody,

This is indeed the latest version from SVN. However, even glyphs with 
correct names' fail to be copied correctly, as you can see: so, maybe 
this is not the real issue.

I used pstricks to insert arrows dynamically connecting different elements
in a slide.
Actually, your comment make me aware of this tikz capability ;)
And it seems also more supported and performant than pstricks!

Thank you very much.

A part from the pstrick/tikz change...
The real problem is the pstricks package, as you abserved.
Even in your minimal test file the error arises.
But removing the pstricks call it disappears!

And also in my real life presentation, removing pstricks, the compilation
completes without error and the
front page has its shaded background, as expected.

Now...I am satisfied to have found a solution...But
I will not be able to sleep (this is not true, obviously :) ) until I
understand what's happening!
Why the combination of pstricks and pgf gives these errors?

It seems more like a clash of some piece of code.
I will investigate, also on the basis of the hints given by other group
members.

Thank you very much

Federico
