ps file using latex and dvips on FC5 and use ps2pdf to convert it to pdf.
The pdf file can be opened by adobe reader 7 on windows and xpdf on cygwin.
I'm not at my FC5 machine so cannot open it on FC5 right now.

So how do you generate your ps file?  Try ps2pdf13 or ps2pdf14 and see if
there's any difference.
