Hi, why are PDF files coming to me with all odd fonts?  I have had several recently where the font is all mixed up like the attached.  Any idea how i can fix this?

The problem is related to the fonts used in the PDFs you want to display. They may be damaged or not embedded correctly into the PDF, so your Reader tries to replace them with a suitable font from your local system. It's also possible that those PDFs have been created with such a poor PDF tool, that those internal structure is totally rubbish and does not fit PDF standards. Reader can manage some flaws to make the PDF still viewable but it won't fix the PDF. In those cases you can only ask the author of the PDF to create a new PDF.
