Can you open this and the other PDF files in PDF viewers? What is the  
result with XeTeX? Or when going the DVI->PS->PDF route? LaTeXiT 1.16  
allows all this (and also to use other TeX distributions in the system).

One possible reason for a failure could be

> \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %useful to type directly diacritic  
> characters


which might fail with old gwTeX (but /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive/ 
tex/latex/base/utf8.def is loaded). How is it when you comment this  
line?

Could you clear your font caches, log out and log in again, and try  
LaTeXiT again? *We* don't know when the font cache polluting bug was  
introduced in pdfTeX. And when it's that bug you encounter, then  
using XeTeX or DVI->PS->PDF should circumvent the bug  *in a clean  
system.*
