[OS X TeX] Figures with labels in computer modern?

[Matthew Hills]

I'd like to thank Bruno and Richard Koch for their replies.

It appears to have been related to the MacOSX under 10.3.8.   I 
upgraded to 10.3.9, and the printing now works correctly from all the 
applications.

(The font encoding problems between LaTeX and Adobe products are 
primarily for the first 30-or-so character codes, where Adobe expects a 
fixed encoding, while the CM fonts are a bit more liberal...  I've had 
good luck with InDesign, as it seems to just pass the buck along, while 
Illustrator
tries to diassemble everything into editable content, which then trips 
on some character codes)
