Yes, I'm running into these "strange results". I have a file generated in Ventura Publisher 5, which I pulled into Ventura Publisher 8 with no problems when printing to an HP Laser printer (using PCL) or viewing onscreen under Windows XP Pro. When converting to PDF using Acrobat 6.0.1 Professional, quite a bit of the text came out converted from Times to Courier -- but this seemed to be random, and included just some lines within a paragraph! Other parts of the paragraph were rendered in some version of Times. When using PitStop Pro to globally correct this by grabbing the "Times" as a destination font, I got the message that there's no "Times" on my system, yet it was grabbed from within the PDF. So how does one go about fixing this? I have the standard assortment of fonts that come with Windows, which includes the "Times New Roman" family. Where in the workflow do I change the reference to "Times" to "Times New Roman"? Harry Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since Acrobat 4, there as been no real concept of "base fonts" for Acrobat and PDF. All fonts should be embedded, no "ifs", "ands", or "buts" about it. If you have a PDF file referencing "Times Italic" but not embedded, Acrobat 6 and Adobe Reader 6 will attempt to find "Times Italic" on your system. If not installed, it attempts to find "Times New Roman Italic" and substitute that. Failing that, it attempts to use its built-in Adobe Serif font. Of course, if your PDF file was created with a font named "Times Italic" but with some oddball encoding or modification from the original Times Italic font used by Adobe, by not having the font embedded you could end up with rather strange results.
