Missing and Substituted Letters in Adobe Acrobat Documents

The presence of the WW Font seems to mess up Adobe Acrobat. The specific symptom (at least on my computer) is missing and substituted (Greek letters and phonetic symbols) characters in Acrobat documents having text in the Times Roman font in them. The solution to this problem is to use Start | Control Panel | Fonts, to locate and uninstall (or delete) the offending font. At least on my computer, this did not cause any other problems.
