To Peter Boughton, Christine Davis, Chris Peterson, and Sandra Clark -- Thanks again for the help you provided me regarding my question about how to switch fonts within a cfdocument.
In the end, a combination of inline style specifications (not <font> tags) and upgrading my server from 7.0 to 7.0.2 completely fixed the problem. My app is now producing PDFs in the desired font.
