When I print to PrimoPDF the fonts used are different than when I print to my Laserjet.

I am using a very small Courier font. PrimoPDF changes the font to what appears as Arial. Any ideas on how to get it to use my original font? I depend on the fixed pitch font for proper column alignment.

Problem: It looks like the Reader can not find the correct font to display the document, so it finds what it thinks is the best alternate font. This problem can result in blanks or squares being subsituted because no adequate font could be found.

Cause: The font is not available in the PDF file.

Solution: Either embed the font in the original document which will embed the font in the resultant PDF or when conversion options pop-up is displayed, choose, Prepress as the default. It will included the character fonts used in the PDF file. The resultant file will be bigger because it is including the font set, but it will be displayed correctly.
