Hi Branden,

I can't seem to make this not work. In my last email I explained how a default 
ucmap is installed in the pdfs produced by gropdf, so assuming the pdf viewer 
supports the pdf standard it should not require a change to the man macros you 
favour. I have tested using 'xpdf' as the viewer which pastes:-

- − fi	<== without ucmap
- - fi	<== with ucmap

Of course, if the pdf is produced by using grops and ghostscript the result 
will be the same as using gropdf with no ucmap, i.e. '-' and '\-' will be 
pasted as different characters.

Cheers 

Deri
