Adobe acknowledges that there is a bug in ASV3 where it does not implement the 'font-family' property correctly when a list of fonts are provided (or presumed). The CSS2 spec says that you are supposed to look for a matching glyph in each of the fonts specified in the 'font-family' property (and presumably include at one generic font as a fallback font even if it isn't listed), but ASV3 uses a simplified and incorrect approach where it picks a single font for any text run and does not do per-glyph checks as required by the CSS2 spec. It is almost certain that Adobe will not issue a dot release of ASV3 to fix this bug. Any fixes in this area would only come as part of a major new release if/when such a major new release were issued.
