FWIW, gpdf prints fonts correctly and xpdf displays/prints fonts
correctly.  gpdf just won't display the fonts correctly. Also tried
gpdf 2.8.3 with no luck.

Tried evince.  Had to install poppler from freedesktop.org; its a pdf
rendering library.  Install was simple, <1 SBU for both packages. 
Evince displays/prints all fonts correctly.  Evince seems a little
primitive, but shows promise.  Doesn't support alpha-blending (which
we use a lot of at the office), so I probably won't stick with it,
although that's probably more the fault of poppler than evince.

Thanks for the advice.
