I've got the same problem, although I see a lot of "white square", "Null" 
marks, and other annoying things in place of some dashes, single quotes, 
and other things.

I think it's a Unicode/UTF-8 or other character set issue, but have never 
spent the time to sort it out.

This also happens if I use pdftotext or antiword or the like, to send data 
into a text file--I have to go over to a FreeBSD system if I want 
unmangled data.
