I have been searching through the Internet and different newsgroups
trying to find a solution to my problem.

I've only been able to find a few other people who have the same
problem but no one has answered their question.
I'm a little surprised that so few people have had this problem.

It started several months ago, it seems after some updates or
something, every PDF file I try to open I would get error cannot find
or create font such and such even though I had the font on my
computer.

Due to Windows instability, I had to format and reinstall it about a
month ago.  I installed the Adobe reader seven and it worked fine.  I
was so happy.  Now last week it started over again.  I can't open any
Acrobat file, well the file opens but the pages are blank except for
pictures.  I get the same error and yes I do have the fonts on my
computer.

I had installed several hundred fonts from a package to my system a
couple weeks ago.  Is it possible the built-in fonts were overridden
and Acrobat does not recognize them. I have a feeling it is these
fonts that caused the problem, but other than formatting again
reinstalling Windows which I really hate to do, I don't know what else
to do

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall acrobat couple a times.  I
have searched through the registry and tried to find any reference to
Acrobat reader and remove them by hand.  I didn't find any.

I'm about ready to give up on it, but of course so many things use PDF
files I can't give up on the PDF files. Worse comes to worse, I can
always send the files over to my Linux machine and read them there.
It is just a little inconvenient. 

Thanks for any help anyone can provide
