Description dc6mb 2010-02-04 10:15:21 UTC 
If using a PS-font (here: ACaslon regular) with Windows, all special german 
characters (like "adieresis" etc) are substituded with blanks by the PDF-Export.
Changing the font to TrueType (here: Arial) gives proper PDF-Export.
Printig to a Postscript printer instead of using the export feature does not
show up these problems neither with PS nor with TTF fonts.
When printing to a file via the Adobe generic Postscript Printer and converting
the PS-file with Ghostscript, the results are ok for both font types.
System environment:
OOO310m19 Build 9420
Win XP32 SP3 german version
Adobe Type Manager ATM Lite 4.1 Build 243
GSVIEW32 Rev. 4.9
Ghostscript 8.63

Remark on ATM:
Although WinXP is stated to deal with PS-fonts w/o the ATM, the ATM is needed 
to print using non printer-resident fonts.

MRU->PL: can confirm this. When having german text like "ÖÖÖÄÄÄÜÜÜ" formatted
e.g. with "URW Palladio Pali PS", the umlauts will be displayed with square
symbols in the exported PDF.
Maybe this is related or dup of issue 95057 or issue 30202 or issue 62465.
