You have to make sure you embed the fonts. I have no idea if CutePDF
does that. It sounds like your program blotched the job.

I made a PDF of a Finale file on my PC using CutePDF. Then I eMailed
it to someone who uses a Mac. They said it looked unreadable, like
hieroglyphics, *except* for the lyrics. It so happens I used Arial for
the lyrics. The rest were Finale fonts. This makes me think that the
problem is something like the Mac needing to have all the Finale fonts
installed in order for the PDF file to work properly.
I was under the impression that a PDF file was totally self-contained
and that someone who didn't have Finale could view a PDF. Does a PDF
file require the fonts that are used in the original Finale file to be
installed on any computer being used to view the PDF file?
I was thinking of having the person download and install Finale
NotePad on their Mac in order to get those fonts. Would that work? Of
course the whole reason for my sending them a PDF in the first place
was so that they wouldn't need to download NotePad.
