Hi.  I've just discovered that, despite the fonts being named as follows:

% pdffonts test.pdf
name                                 type              emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
Times-Roman                          Type 1            no  no  no       4  0
Times-Italic                         Type 1            no  no  no       5  0
Times-Bold                           Type 1            no  no  no       6  0
Times-BoldItalic                     Type 1            no  no  no       7  0
Helvetica                            Type 1            no  no  no       8  0
Helvetica-Oblique                    Type 1            no  no  no       9  0
Helvetica-Bold                       Type 1            no  no  no      10  0
Helvetica-BoldOblique                Type 1            no  no  no      11  0

and having font flags used by default by pdflatex, the Acrobat Reader
(8.1.2) does *not* substitute bold, italic or bold-italic/oblique fonts
when a document is displayed; plain Roman is used for all. Is this a bug
in the Reader or are the font flags incorrect?
