      Are there any fonts installed in the printer that would conflict with
      these?




O dear, I'm not sure about that, nor sure how to check. I should say that I've printed these pdfs with GPP on laser printers connected to Windows PCs with no problem.

I guess my concern is with the reliability of pdfs. I'm pretty sure that when the file is exported to pdf the whole font is packaged with the file. I used to believe that pdfs are like images, so that any computer could display and print them whether or not they had the font themselves. Has this changed?

On another matter, refering to earlier discussions about the Greek characters, as a student I used a font called Kadmos that I found excellent. I have never managed to discover if the font is still sold anywhere. The GPP version looks ok, except that the circumflex over the small omega is too wavy for my liking. I prefer the single up-down curve of Kadmos.
