Yes, there are people who require specific fonts for projects.  I had to 
get an Adobe font library one year, from the people who required these 
fonts.  I still have it, since they did not ask for them back.  I really 
hope this issues get resolved properly for you.  If it displays "off" 
but prints correct, then sometimes it may work for people.  But if the 
fonts print out "off" then that is really bad.

Your version is a little newer than mine, it seems.  I have had some 
problems with "quality" issues between different versions of some other 
fonts, that are in my "font library folders".

I use only XP, Win7, and Ubuntu 12.04LTS/MATE, at this time.  Ubuntu is 
my desktop, with the others for laptops and other secondary systems.

By the way, what desktop environments do you use?  I do not like Unity, 
so I use MATE to have the 10.04 feel on Ubuntu 12.04 and newer.  
Sometimes, I have heard form others, that some desktops may display the 
same document or package's "editing window" differently.  I have not 
seen it with 10.04/GNOME and 11.xx, 12.04, and 13.xx with MATE desktop 
environment.  But a few people I have email conversations with, a while 
ago, did tell me their desktop environment "issues".  Of course, that 
was in the early late 3.x and early 4.0.x time frame.
