Dear TeXfriends,
I think that I have found an irritating bug of Apple pdf routines
that affects to TeX in a Mac.
I send a example that explain the problem.
Thanks in advance,

Compare the alignement of the third symbol ``$|$'' in the following
formulas with~``$+$'' and~``$-$'':
$|x| + |y|$
$|x| - |y|$
In the pdf generated with pdflatex, it is very well aligned.
But the alignment fails after~``$-$'' IF YOU PRINT with the Apple Preview
(both in the paper and in a pdf in the hard disk), and also if, with TeXShop,
you print or you select the formulas and drag it to the hard disk (as a pdf).
I do not know the reason, but the~``$|$'' is too close to the~``$-$'' and
too far to the~``$-$''.
No similar problem arises printing (in a paper) with Adobe Reader.
I do not know where to report this problem (or if it is already known).
Can some guru in the list to help?
I have checked the problem with Mac OS X 10.5.2 to 10.5.6
(I do not have older Macs).
Yours,
Juan Luis
