sometimes when I open a PDF - even one that is already on my computer

I get a page of mostly SYMBOLS instead of LETTERS.

I do not know why this is happening...when I send the file to other people they seem to be able to view the PDF fine. Also if I try to print it, it prints the symbols not the true letters. (and it is not a perfect replacement - the symbols are all over the place)

Is this a setting on my machine that I can fix?

Thanks for the help
Steve
