If you can open the file in that older version of illustrator, try to make 
the font an outline.  That way it is art instead of a font.  This might or 
might not work depending if the designer gave you both the screen and printer 
part of the fonts.

If it converts to outlines, save it with a different name, I usually use O/L 
in the name and then try to print it.
