[Sugar-devel] Local download page for 16 Sugar Related Floss Manual .pdf files

[James Simmons]

Thomas,

I have generated a PDF for the Spanish version of MYOSA which does NOT
have the funny characters in it.  I used the method used for creating
a PDF for a printed book (OBJAVI II).  I did not do the work required
to actually make a PDF good enough for a printed book.  All I did was
take the defaults, and the title page is still in English because I
don't know Spanish.  However, this PDF may suit your purposes better
than what you have now.

http://objavi.flossmanuals.net/books/ActivitiesGuideSugares-es-2011.01.21-18.28.05.pdf

Be sure and copy this somewhere, as I don't think this link will work forever.
