Hi all, A little while ago I wrote a message asking if anyone had seen this problem with chopped-off brackets in printed PDFs. Paul Rubin (on this list) suggested that I send example files so here they are. See attached LyX file, the generated PDF and a scan of my printed output (on a Kyocera FS-1010 printer on Win 2k).
Steps to reproduce: (1) on LyX 1.4.1 on FC5, I created the attached LyX document. (2) export to PDF (pdflatex) (3) copy to my windows machine (Win2k) (4) open with Acrobat version 4.0. (5) print directly Kyocera FS-1010 printer (6) print indirectly to Kyocera FS-1010 print via FinePrint version 5.51 Versions printed at steps (5) and (6) both came out as shown in the scanned attachment. Interestingly, the FinePrint preview showed the chopped brackets as well. Here's the really surprising part. When I copy the same PDF file to another machine (also Win2k, also Acrobat 4.0), it prints out fine, without the brackets chopped. So I guess the conclusion is that I have a crazy local problem perhaps with Acrobat or with my printer driver, or with FinePrint (which is from fineprint.com, btw). If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.
