 Perhaps it's related to the document coding? The text was plain ASCII

  Here's the error in the log file:

! Package textcomp Error: Symbol \textservicemark not provided by
(textcomp)                font family ppl in TS1 encoding.
(textcomp)                Default family used instead.

See the textcomp package documentation for explanation.

  It's a LaTeX error, not a TeX error. It looks contradictory to me. If the
symbol is not in the 'font family ppl in TS1 encoding', but the default
family is used instead, why is it an error?

Rich,

Not sure this applies, but apparently some fonts (including some Postscript fonts) don't contain all the symbols in the textcomp package. There are at least two other packages (textcompsym and textcompfix) that apparently invoke different workarounds. The comments in both point to Palatino, for instance, as a font that doesn't have all the textcomp symbols.

You might try loading one or the other of those and see if anything useful happens.
