Just to make sure what we expect to see, and what we do see: The first
line of the punctuation stuff reads:

min, min: min; `min' ¿min? ¡min! (min) [min] min* min.

(I hope the inverted ? and ! are encoded and displayed correctly in the
e-mail). 

In the file out_powerpc.ps you sent me, I see instead

min,min:min;`min'?`min?!`min!(min)[min]min*min.

That is: The spaces are missing, the inverted "?" is replaced by "?`",
the inverteed "!" by "!`".

> Do I have to cleanup/reinstall fonts or something?????

I'm not sure whether you already said this: If you generate a pdf file
from the buggy ps file, using ps2pdf, is the pdf file also buggy? If
yes, please send us the output of

pdffonts $filename.pdf

(the command is from xpdf-utils). 

Regards, Frank
