Embedded fonts in PDF get substituted. This works correctly in IE, Opera, Chrome, and Safari. The phrase "Published by Authority" is in Old English Text MT and displays correctly on this page (near the bottom:

I tried supporting the font in CSS but it made no difference:
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/mm_entertainment.css" type="text/css" /><head>
.Old p {
	font-family: "Old English Text MT";
	font-size: 18px;
	font-style: normal;
	background-color: #FFF;
}

Expected Results:  
Same as all the other browsers.

Should have used the embedded font.

Actually, if you keep hitting refresh, the fonts eventually show up. Please cancel this report.
