After reading the tidbits post, I created a test pdf file using Myriad Pro. This file could NOT be read by Adobe Reader, although it is handled by preview without problem. According to the post, the problem is with OpenType postscript fonts. This could explain a printing problem I had at work. That was a pdflatex file with figures annotated in Illustrator, probably using some TrueType fonts (I need to check again). So it appears that the problem is real.
