Mike,

If I understand this correctly, I take it that .pdf format is not used as it would create large files, so the files depend upon fonts that the user has installed on his computer, like these Forum pages. That could be the problem -- default or other installed fonts may not include the ligatures and other pi, or the coding by the publisher is incorrectly linking to specific glyphs.
