PDF embedded fonts.

[Corey Telfer]

Hi all,

   I had a bear of a time making your PDF file come out right Bob, but
eventually I made it work.  The first copy I printed out had a lot of fonts
wrong, and I only figured that out because I happened to be familiar with
the words in question.  I went back to the computer and eventually made it
better, but I'm still not 100% certain that I have all the right characters
in my copy.  If you could provide it as a word document and provide us with
the fonts, that might work better...

   I'm sorry to hear that your house was broken into and I hope nothing too
valuable was lost.
