thanks
Raising the severity to important since problems are known, this
is some form of regression, and this bug is really annoying.

This was the solution in tetex:
% Character shifting. You may have wanted to do this when using the
% BlueSky/AMS/Y&Y fonts, a long time ago, to work around various
% bugs in ancient versions of Acrobat Reader, but it should no longer
% be necessary. It remaps certain ``control character'' positions to
% another range where these characters are repeated.
%
% Since this is doing more harm than good, it is disabled by default.

% G
