This has been a known issue/bug in Adobe Acrobat for a long time as the above post from 2008 shows. Just google fat characters or such and acrobat and see results. I have been a graphic designer since 1992 and have to deal with this on a weekly basis. If the document prints fine from a postscript 2/3 printer then you should be OK barring any other problems.
