Hi Nikita,

Thanks for the report (and the thanks). I've found the bug in the code, I did 
not allow for hyphens being used in postscript glyph names. It is now fixed 
and I've attached a copy the latest gropdf (only to be used if you are running 
the deri-gropdf-ng branch).

It was a single character addition to a regexp in line 4590 (line 4602 in the 
attached gropdf since it includes Colin Watson's patch). Let me know if this 
fixes it for you, and keep on testing. :-)

Cheers 

Deri
