The Latin Modern glyphs used in the document should be embedded in the PDF file, so they should display properly. Embedding them will expand the size of the file a bit. An alternative is to use Times Roman/Helvetica/Courier, which are the Adobe standard fonts. They don't need to be embedded, since they're built into Acrobat Reader. I do that fairly frequently. /Paul
