Arial Narrow has been causing problems - particularly in Adobe apps - ever since Office 2007, Vista and XPSP3 were introduced, because Microsoft made a mistake in naming the fonts. They issued a hotfix, (see for example http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2008/09/arial_narrow.html . The hot fix itself is at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956514 ) but unless the client machine has been patched, you'll see problems with that font. If you can't embed the fonts, pick something other than Arial Narrow. Incidentally, all those Arial variations in your doc were different from the ones on my machine, so it's not surprising that it reproduces badly on some machines. -- Noel
