RE: Windows 200 and funny characters

[Jim Stauffer <jstauffer@xxxxxxx>]

Make sure you have a Win 2000 print driver for your PS creation. Also,
depending on driver and PPD file, check the Printer Properties for: 
-- True Type fonts to download as soft fonts
-- Font substitution table set to 'do not substitute'
-- Postscript Options set for 'portability'

...these are things I've run into after cursing at font problems in PDFs.
