This problem is very tantalising -- theoretically, it could be solved if a suitable "key" could be spotted, and a suitable

however, acroread displays a viewable result. Do th zoom show pixels or not, that is letters are they drawings (bitmaps) of scaled fonts?
at least ocr coud do the job :-)

Yes, they are bit-maps. If (in acroread) you zoom up to the maximum
(1600%) in stages you can see the little blocks which make up the
edges growing in size until they are quite sizeable squares.
The one expecption is the little but of text in Figure E1 on page 63
of the document. As I pointed out earlier, this text is "searchable"
(e.g. the word "Data" can be found with acroread's "Find", though it
is the only one of several occurrences of the word which is found);
and, if you zoom on this particular but of text, you will see that
the outlines remain smooth at every magnification (to within screen
resolution), showing that in this case the fonts are "outline"
fonts and not bit-maps.
Best wishes,
Ted.
