I do a church newsletter that I have to send out for printing and I send it to a mailing list as well. I never have any problems with PCs reading things right. Do you embed the fonts? That seems to be the key because without it, it messes up.
The fonts claim to be embedded (when I open it in Acrobat Reader and check file->Document Properties->fonts). And Hoeffler Text, which doesn't come with Windows, shows up fine - no funky font substitution as I've seen when the fonts weren't included - so the font description is there.
But it's not because I tell the print dialog to embed the fonts - I don't know of a way to specify that when using the "save as PDF" function of the OS X print dialog. (Or, for that matter, when I choose "Save as File" the Output Options, which means I can't control PostScript font inclusion.) I wish I had more control of the PDFs I create!
And it's such an occasional thing - only one of many of the same character will be wrong.
Very frustrating!
Actually, I should try some other fonts (but I do like Hoeffler!) - maybe the problem is there. I should at least test that.
