I suffer from a similar problem. I specified Helvetica for my document, to
assure portability, but it does not work well, because although Helvetica
and its variants Bold and BoldOblique are correctly listed as original
fonts, Acrobat Reader uses Arial to show and print the document. (Yes, I
know they look alike but there are significant differences.)
Does somebody known why? Does it has something to do with Postscript font
substitution tables? (They scare the hell out of me, they are more a
nuisance than a commodity.)

Font not found

We are generating PDFs via FOP and decided to use the Helvetica font since
it was one of the 'guaranteed to be there' fonts.
However, we have a significant percentage of users that are complaining
they can not display the PDF properly because Reader is reporting that
Helvetica cannot be found. The versions of Reader are varied, but even
users with 5.1 are having this problem.
Any ideas?
