MS Word 2010 SP1, PDF, font rasterization

J. Tillman

We learned a some months ago that MS Word 2010 rasterizes OpenType Postscript flavor fonts when it makes a PDF, causing less-than-good appearances in some cases.

Now MS Word SP1 has been announced, but I have not read that this has been improved. Info on Word 2010 SP1 is here:

I am hoping that Microsoft made an undocumented change and fixed this. Can anyone say yes or no as to whether this rasterization process has been changed in Word 2010 SP1?

Thanks.
