That's a good start. Another place to look is the current projects
page:

Don't know about these. I know that the PDF renditions on the FTP
server break from time to time...I'm not sure why this happens. I
can almost always generate the Handbook from my local sources with no
problems, so...???...

Interesting. This I *have* seen in another document. Something I
recognize is that these are all trademarks (i.e. implemented using
trademark entities).
(The other document is the "Roadmap to 5-STABLE", which I recently made
a few trivial edits on. I usually work from PDF renditions when I edit
documents. Oh yes, I made my own PDF files, so this particular problem
isn't peculiar to the versions on the FTP server.)
