Firefox 3 prints sends garbled text which looks like a substitute font when printing to my Acrobat 4.0 PDF Writer. Similar problems are reported at this link:

Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7 both correctly print the same page which gets garbled coming from FF3. Source URL makes no difference.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look at any URL
2. Ctrl-P and select Acrobat PDFWriter
3. Name the file.
Actual Results:  
Use steps above with FF2 and IE7. Then close FF2 and open FF3 and use steps above. Verify each pdf.

Expected Results:  
Resulting pdf from FF2 and IE7 ok. pdf from FF3 garbled.

I'll add screen captures and the resulting pdf's from FF2, IE7 and FF# as attachments after it is filed.
