Well then, I assume that PDFs created straight from Finale must

No, you can't assume that at all. If you haven't embedded the fonts
properly, another person that doesn't have those fonts, would see
gibberish in the text.
That's true -- it would look fine on Andrew's system because he has all
the necessary fonts installed.
Andrew's assumption about automatic embedding of fonts is not a valid
one -- every PDF creation program will have certain settings, which will
include the embedding of fonts. They need to be embedded in order for
the PDF file to look the same on any computer.
