I tried viewing the PDF file (which Tom sent me) on my system, and it
worked fine. After emailing back and forth, it looks like Tom is using
an older version of t1lib (0.9.1), so I'm guessing that's the problem,
but I'm still waiting to hear back from him.
I seem to recall some of the t1lib bug fixes dealt with problems like
this (?)
In any case, I'd be happy to extract the fonts from the PDF file if
upgrading to a newer t1lib doesn't fix the problem.
