Turns out it's a bug in Preview. There are many programs which corrupt the font libraries. Apparently Acrobat can work around the corrupted files but Preview does not. Solution is not to use those programs and to reboot to repair the corrupted files.

It seems that Adobe Acrobat can read the files fine, but Preview chokes on them. Any idea why it's Preview that can't consistently load up the fonts?

thanks...
