I have the lost-character problem occasionally as well. The last

quarter-tone symbols were printed as little triangles. They displayed
correctly at the shop and printed fine on letter-size paper, but did
not
print on tabloid (11x17) paper (for creating a saddle-stitched score).
They
display and print fine on all four printers here in the house (Xerox,
Canon
and Epson letter size and HP tabloid size in booklet-creation mode).
In the above scenario, it seems to be related to the printer driver,
but
does anybody know? Is this an issue of PDF creator, PDF viewer, printer
driver, system resources, font characters? I always thought of PDF as a
format I could count on.
This happened to me once when I sent PDFs to a client who printed them
at his local print shop. Certain characters got substituted with
Courier versions, which of course looks ridiculous in an instrumental
part! (Sixteenth rests and default whole rests, but not
manually-entered whole rests, go figure!)
Apparently it was related to the ancient version of Windows the print
shop was running on, Windows 98, I think it was.
I have never had a problem with Mac versions (so far!)
