In Acrobat select the TouchUp Text Tool. Select a notehead and right click for attributes. Make sure that the font is embedded. You may have problems with truetype/postscript versions of the same font. I myself had to install the truetype version of the Maestro font to embed it (WinXP). Alternatively as a way to see if a font is correctly embedded in an Acrobat file you can make sure that 'Use Local Font' under the view menu is deselected (Ctrl-shift-y).
