Just like on other viewers you get Times New instead of Times. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/322/322792.html If you view a PDF file that contains Helvetica or Times, and the font isn't embedded in the PDF file, Acrobat 6.x and 5.x products substitute the font using either MT Arial or MT Times New Roman, even if Helvetica or Times is installed on your system. fwiw, Alan Isaac |
