... all i can see is that the two .sla look identical on debian...

... i wonder where the problem is...

... interesting thing...

(well, it's obvious that for you the short time workaround is to use ubuntu for producing your PDFs...)

They are indeed the same file. The problem is the same file looks different when shown on Windows 7 compared to when shown on Ubuntu. See the screens shots.

The Arial font used are different on Windows and Ubuntu. The Arial font file is 761kb on Windows, only 270kb on Ubuntu. Ubuntu ship a very old version of Arial (2.82) whereas Windows 7 ships version 5.10. Copy Windows Arial font to your Ubuntu installations. *DO NOT* copy the Ubuntu version to Windows fonts directory.
