However, when I print the document to either the generic postscript printer or the Acobat Distiller 5.0.5, the Dingbat characters are changed to the TT Wingdings font. Switching the printer option back to either the Hp or Canon again displays the proper Dingbat character.

The manifestation of this that I've seen (on Mac, Frame 6, Acrobat 5) is non-alpha characters such as apostrophes not printing or distilling in the TT font. Making all the fonts in the document Type 1 cured the problem.

Bubbameiser!

We know of absolutely NO problems whatsoever caused by mixing
of Type 1, TrueType, and/or OpenType fonts in the same document,
same page, same paragraph, or even same word as long as no two
fonts have exactly the same name.
