The unreadable pdf is 142.4 kb in size while the readable pdf is 38.6 kb. so in a moment of desperation I tried to open the "unreadable" file with a postscript reader and it opened just fine. So my current theory is that print to file option is actually giving me a p...

So to summarise I think its a printer set up issue with "print to file" -in other words you need to set a default printer to use with print to file, either your standard printer or a PDF printer (cups etc.). Hope this makes sense :D It does make sense so I changed the default printer to PDF, reboot...

Yes -"print to file" is using your cups pdf printer - I`m sure. So I think cups pdf is working OK because you stated in your first post -"when I print to a file (pdf) I am able to read the pdf drawing with the Linux document viewer". So I`m thinking the problem lies between your outputted PDF from ...

Since I was unable to find a binary for ttf2cxf, I downloaded the source code here <ftp://ribbonsoft.com/archives/ttf2cxf/ttf2cxf-0.0.0.1-src.tar.gz> but can'...
