I can't find the full package of my TTF copies of the Arial family, but 
found out that I had a few of the Arial fonts in .ttf - Arial 
Narrow.ttf, Arial MT Condensed.ttf, Arial OUP.ttf and Arial MT.ttf so I 
made some experiments with these fonts in another table.

The input in the PDF file tells the correct fonts used, but the output 
in the PDF file gives the exact same result as using the Arial.otf. I.e. 
output font in the table is still LucidaGrande...

I've also talked to one of my friends who is an Adobe certiffied 
supporter and instructor. He told me that it is possible that the 
problem is with the Adobe PDF engine built into OS X 10.6.x - /or/ that 
the problem is that the PDF engine doesnot incorporate the chosen fonts 
and therefore returns to use the system fonts. - He told me that he has 
seen this in both Mac OS X 10.6.x and newer + Windows Vista and newer 
when using the 'Print to PDF' feature + the full Acrobat Pro - this both 
in MSWord, WordPerfect and other text processors.

So probably I just have to live with this...

Cheers, Erik Richard
