character codes
(like 144) that are not in Windows ANSI encoding, and some character
codes that
correspond to characters other than what you expect (character code 134
is dagger).
No doubt these character codes mean something in the *NON-TEXT* font
called
"JSL Blackletter." Since we don't have that font we don't see what you
are expecting.
Moral: If you want to preserve the exact look, use Acrobat PDF, not
HTML.
And make sure that Distiller embeds the "JSL Blackletter" font.
