Ok - my suggestion got me curious and I tested it :P Forget about the
"Adobefnt.lst" file - it's auto-generated each time Acrobat Reader starts
and any new fonts are added :)
I also created a PDF using Font only available on my Linux machine and
viewed it in windows before copying all my Linux Type1's over - font
substitution was awful! AFTER copying the fonts, it displayed perfectly :)
Long live the penguin!
