Re: trouble distilling a visio file.

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

"Adobe_cshow" is a PostScript procedure name associated with
font rendering ...

I don't think the problem has anything to do whatsoever with
Visio per se, but rather with something to do with a bad font
interaction with driver and/or Distiller.

Tell me some more about the fonts being used in your Visio diagram.
Perchance, are you using a font such as Arial Unicode or Lucida Unicode?

What Windows service pack are you up to? You should be on SP4.
