Hi Norbert, Here's a simple test case illustrative of the reason why I don't use Debian Context packages 2007.01.23-1 and 2007.01.23-2. \starttext \S1 \blank[big] \S2\crlf\S3 \stoptext In 2007.01.12.2-1 this works fine but in later contexts the section symbols are so tall that those for 2 and 3 overlap. Here's the pdffont output for the PDF generated by 01.12: name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- --------- JWRWBM+LMRoman12-Regular Type 1 yes yes yes 7 0 BRHVGD+CMSY10 Type 1 yes yes no 10 0 And here's the pdffont output for the PDF generated by 01.23: name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- --------- EXKOFC+LMRoman12-Regular Type 1 yes yes yes 7 0 JRTCBR+LMMathSymbols10-Italic Type 1 yes yes no 10 0 The section symbols look OK once they reach print preview but the mess in the PDF viewer from section symbols and other characters means that I have to keep using 2007.01.12.2-1 for now. My lmodern is 1.00-3 and my pdftex is pdfetex 1.30.5-2.2 from texlive-base-bin 2005.dfsg.2-10. Is this something you can reproduce or something I've messed up in my configuration? Thanks, --Mike Bird
