Font compatibility seems crucial in order to correctly generate PDF's.

Has anyone seen a resource for fonts that "guarantee" compatibility with
Acrobat?   I'm not just referring to sticking with 'Times New Roman', but
also variables like Postscript vs. TrueType, what -version- of a font is
best, and is the same font available across platforms?

It would be nice to have a handful of fonts that we could confidently use in
our office, and recommend to our PI's, which would consistantly translate
into quality PDF's.
