PDF missing some symbol fonts

Is this issue I'm having with AutoCAD 2010 LT just my problem or has anyone
else seen this happen when using symbols with Comic Sans MS font in PDF plot
files?

We have been using Comic Sans MS true font in AutoCAD since version 2000 all
the way to 2009 LT without any font problems when generating drawings in PDF
format (standard DWG to PDF. pc3 plot). Now with AutoCAD 2010 LT some
symbols no longer work (diameter for one). I can take the same dwg file to
AutoCAD 2009 LT and not have the problem. I converted the text to ISOCPEUR
true font and the symbols work. It seems to be related to the COMIC SANS
MS font. I hate to think that our library of company standard details will
all need to be converted to another font type, plus any older drawings as
needed.

The attached file is what I see when opening the TEXT TEST.PDF plot file.

A row of dots appears in the lines of text that contain the missing symbol.
I am using Adobe Reader 9 to view the pdf file.

Suggestion?
Thanks
...Gary

This did the trick. If you have a custom pc3 file that uses DWG to PDF.pc3 you have to change the custom properties in the custom pc3 and the DWG to PDF.pc3. Once I did I could print to pdf with the Arial font in my drawing. Thanks so much for your help.
