Hi,
My system (Rawhide) was also showing errornous extra characters. I've
corrected the file & will push it upstream as well as downstream.
IMO, when the fonts being used are same, its the rendering issue that
could have creeped in (or when originally creating the file, some extra
characters could have been added which get invisible to some rendering
engines... etc).
Thanks for bringing up this issue.
:)
