You probably need to do a survey of the available fonts on each computer to make sure they all have what they need. You can find the information in File > Preferences > Fonts. There is also the FontSample script, that can create a document using available fonts.
Another way to check this would be to do File > Collect for Output from your home computer, including the necessary font data, then take that to school and see what happens. If it's a font availability problem, this should work on every computer. Greg
