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!)

All of these printing problems happen with me as well, from my
publishers and from other printing places - both the missing middle of
the tremolo and the substituting of whole bar rests with semiquaver
rests - very embarrassing when you have the music in front of
professional orchestral players and they're all complaining to you about it.
Taking a look at the Maestro font itself, there are a couple of
superfluous points on the top bar of the tremolo sign - maybe that has
something to do with it though I can't see how.
My PDF files were created on a Mac, and were printing from Windows (from
what they told me). All looked fine on the screen both on my end and on
the screen of where they were being printed.
The solution was to upgrade the version of Acrobat to the most recent
version - problem solved.
