I have me Sprint bill emailed to me. When I try to open it with acroread I get the following error
"cannot find or create the font 'helvetica' "
Most of the text is displayed as dots.
When I open the same file with Evince, all is fine? Just an annoyance, but if some one knows the answer it would be helpful.

Re: Adobe Reader 8 and Helvetica fonts
Someone at sprint assumes all people have mac fonts installed. Adobe is enforcing the font, rather than skipping to the next alternative.
