--------------DBBD5452B88FB40779F8660B Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am looking at 2ed. There is a dash in 12.3.3, first paragraph, 3rd line. It should read: "for a particular port- for example, a reg or wire". Instead, the dash disappears and the following is received in the IEEE PDF: "for a particular port for example, a reg or wire". Since other dashes do appear in the 2ed IEEE PDF, for example near the bottom of the same page, "NOTE-", there may be something special about this dash. It should be checked since it probably occurs elsewhere in the document as well. 12.3.3 is only an example. In the PDF I created privately from the Frame source, the dash does come out correctly. -- Shalom Bresticker Shalom.Bresticker@motorola.com Design & Reuse Methodology Tel: +972 9 9522268 Motorola Semiconductor Israel, Ltd.

From: Shalom Bresticker <Shalom.Bresticker@motorola.com> To: etf-bugs@boyd.com Cc: Subject: Re: errata/169: one more printing problem Date: Wed, 01 Jan 2003 15:49:39 +0200 OK, The problem seems to be that the "em dashes" in TimesNewRoman font did not come out in the IEEE PDF. Those that were in Times font did come out. The document is a mixture of Times and TimesNewRoman fonts. The two fonts are almost identical and indistinguishable in practice, so that the immediate fix is to find those "em dashes" in TimesNewRoman font and change them to Times font. There are still quite a few. That I can easily do. That will still leave the problem of other special symbols which don't come out. I currently don't see a general way to handle them. I need to rely on people to find those problems and report them to me so that I can discover in each case what causes the problem and find a solution.
