Hi everyone,
I find that pdfs created on a windows machine often don't print properly from OS X. The document displays perfectly on my screen, but then prints missing the needed fonts. I'm not sure if this matters, but they are Asian (Chinese fonts). This seems strange to me, becuase these same fonts print fine from other applications: ms word, text edit, etc. The pdfs print normally from windows (via VMware Fusion) Can someone tell me where I should look for these missing fonts?

Thanks!

Correction: I said above that the fonts print normally in other applications like MS Word. Actually, I just tested on, and am surprised to find that a similar thing is happening: that is, the correct fonts are displayed on screen, but when printed, another font is substituted... guess I really don't understand font substitution at all...
