Hi, Karl

KB>     4. pdflatex (sparc solaris platform) produces pdf with errors in
KB>     embedding fonts.  Here is Acrobat Reader's error message:  "Unabl
KB>e to
KB>     extract the embedded font 'ZWWGZN+CMSS10'. Some characters may not
KB>     display or print correctly."
KB> Martin or Hans or anyone, do you have any insight into this?

The error happens even in simplest document with one font. If file
contains more fonts, only one font is broken

Here is fragment of pdf file created with latest sparc solaris 2.8 binaries:

apparently there was some overflow in /Length1 -- it should be 810

I'm not an expert in pdf, but hope it will help
