My default printer is PDFCreator, and it has exactly that list of fonts as in that registry key in its font substitution table under advanced settings. Indeed I finally found this blog post about the same issue with Helvetica that looks like Arial and this Microsoft support article about where fonts in Microsoft Word come from. But since there wasn't anywhere else in the registry that it could have been taking the fonts from, I suspected some other source. Well so I went ahead to delete the whole key (after backing it up of course) and Microsoft Word promptly put it back, but without those strange values besides some other slight differences. Then I tried searching my registry for "ZapfDingbats" and found it under HKEY_USERS\S\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\MathFonts with a whole lot of other values with names of the form These look odd to me, so I would like to ask if anyone knows what they mean before I do anything to them. Daniel R Hicks gave me an idea to search Google for "office fonts stored" and I found this forum post about font substitution and this article about the Registry keys for font substitution.
