Summary: PDF Output Sheet Fonts

Initial Comment:

> What fonts do the fantasy PDF output sheets use for the boxes in 
the skill lists?  When I use csheet_fantasy_std_blue_light.xslt, the 
boxes  that are supposed to indicate which skills can be used 
untrained and which are exclusive both show as blank, italicized 
boxes.

The PDF files use ZapfDingbats font for the check marks that 
indicate untrained. It does not use boxes. According to the Apache 
FOP project all PDF readers must include that font as a "basic" font.

However, with the release of Adobe Acrobat 7.0, I just found out that
ZapfDingbats is no longer a standard font. It should be embedded in
the document if used. Same is true for Times and Helvetica fonts. 
This is going to be a big problem for PCGen.
