I am using Latex / Prosper for my thesis defense slideshow upcoming in a
month, and I am getting British pound (the script L currency symbol) instead
of f's in some words in the final PDF version.

I am running Red Hat Linux a recent binary from last year ... recent (last
year) version of prosper templates, and the following commands to compile:

latex slides
dvips -Ppdf slides
ps2pdf slides.ps

Has anyone else gotten this bug?  What is the workaround.

Here is the list of packages I am including:

\usepackage{color} % Text color
\usepackage{verbatim} % We need this for some reason
\usepackage{epsfig} % Encapulated postscript images
\usepackage{amsmath} % AMS math equation style
\usepackage{hhline} % Special horizontal lines in tables
\usepackage{multirow} % Multiple row fields in tables


Has anyone else gotten this bug?  What is the workaround.

Reading the FAQ?  Getting an up-to-date dvips?  Using Google?
Specifying -G0?
