... so, why Exported PS and "virtually printed" PS give different results even when they are distilled with the same Distiller and the same settings???

Sorry, but I never examined the files to compare the code inside, but I often compare the results, and the results are different: this shows obviously that somethings are different in the two files, and that the way used to generate the PS file makes the difference.

Export to PDF or PS is the preferred and most reliable method to get a good postscript/PDF out of QuarkXPress. If you have trouble with the Jaws Engine, try deleting Jaws' font cache.
Sorry, no: again, all the problems I experienced with exported PDF disappeared when distilling a "virtually printed PDF"...

... perhaps it is only a simple fonts cache problem, perhaps someting else, I don't know, but I see that there is a problem!!!

And I find your affirmation very funny: you affirm that the exporting method is the best and most reliable method, but you add that it has troubles... but the troubles can easily be fixed...

... sorry again, but if the method has (known) troubles with the Jaws engine fonts cache or somethings else, it is not a reliable method, even if the troubles can easily be fixed!!! a reliable method has no trouble!!!

It will perhaps become a reliable method when the fonts cache issue will be fixed, but for the moment it's a method less reliable than distilling!!!

(and Adobe's Distiller has no font cache to be cleared... lol)
