Years ago, I went nuts trying to get a character from the Symbol font to appear the same on my printer's Mac, as on my PC. Same font? Well, yes... but not exactly. Solution was to select all the text, convert it to curves, end of problem. In XDP and P&GD, select the text with the Selector tool, then do Arrange > Convert to Editable Shapes. Illustrator has a similar command. This will also help if you are using a font that can't be embedded into the PDF. 'Convert to curves' goes right around that problem.
