Is the example at http://i.imgur.com/8hrG3Tp.png the sort of thing
that you are seeing? I have a few documents like this. The pdffonts
program reports, for one of them:

Arial                                TrueType          no  no  no       5  0
Arial                                CID TrueType      yes no  yes      8  0
Symbol                               CID TrueType      yes no  yes     13  0

Installing the msttcorefonts package will provide Arial. This fixed the
problem for me.
