No, but I should be able to find some when I'm at work tomorrow. 
Assuming I remember. I usually have trouble with CMYK colours looking 
wrong, or with embedded fonts not displaying in the correct typeface.

True, but it appears that currently Adobe has the best implementation - 
at least for the POST's needs. Horrifying really, given the relatively 
awful UI (motif, clunky) of Acrobat Reader, it's unicode-incompatability 
and it's rather well-aged nature compared to implementations for other 
platforms.
