[OS X TeX] Unable to extract the embedded font

[Lee Tryhorn]

Hi,

I've tried re-running the configure stage of the TeX i-Package, and 
that has helped a bit.  You can now see all of the text in the document 
apart from one page which is blank.

In Adobe it came up with the message, 'There was an error processing a 
page, wrong operand type', followed  by 'An unrecognized token '-382d' 
was found' and 'There was an error in processing this document (114)'.

I'm lost.  Any further suggestions?
