There is a plug-in called Set Print you can get at http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm that allows you set your Windows default printer to what you normally print to and your FrameMaker default printer to Acrobat.

The problem is that some printers have their own embedded fonts that are different than the system's fonts or the system's versions of those fonts. They aren't part of the Windows system, but they can be accessed on the printer. If the font appears to be available to the system as a remote resource, it'll use it. But it can't be embedded in a PDF, for instance, and won't travel with the file to another system that doesn't use that printer.
