Mac OS X: Spaces in PDF Text or iPhoto Book Appear as Two Dots

Text in a PDF file that was saved with third-party DynaFont TrueType fonts, which are used in some Japanese documents, may unexpectedly appear with two dots where a space is expected. It appears this way in some PDF viewers, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, but not in the Mac OS X Preview application.
For example, instead of "Hello there," the text may look like this: "Hello··there".

This can also happen when you order an iPhoto book that uses one of these fonts.

The solution is to view the PDF file in Preview where the text will appear as expected.

To avoid this issue, don't use these fonts in your document or iPhoto book.
