I don't know, this suggests some things to play around with, but I don't
really see how it covers the case.  I create a file on one machine in two
LW fonts.  When I print it from a second machine, Times comes out ok, but
Symbol's changed into something else.  Seems to me that on your account
either I've got the LW Chosen when I create the file, which in fact I
almost always do, since I want to see what the final result's going to look
like, and then both fonts should come out right; or else I don't, and
then both should come out transformed.
