Howdy,

What fonts are you using? If you are using one of the ``Standard 35''  
Laserwriter fonts by default they are NOT included (even partially)  
and will result in font substitution if they don't exist on the  
windows box; e.g., some boxes only have Times New Roman, not the  
standard Time.

Good Luck,
