I have the Verdana fonts installed, and am not about to uninstall to check... If true, I hope an AC lurker will have this brought to the attention of the IT group.
Under those conditions (i.e. font substitution not allowed in Acrobat and the specified font not installed on the system) an error will occur. However, if fonts are substituted, the ticket may no longer look like it is supposed to look, which may cause problems (formatting, fitting characters where they're supposed to be, etc).
