When I view the PDFs for Rev 17 or 18 in Adobe Reader, most of the body text is rendered in Adobe Sans MM, which is what Reader substitutes when it can't locate the original font.

Original fonts appear to be:
Arial
Arial,Bold
Arial,BoldItalic
Arial,Italic
Helvetica
Helvetica,Bold
Helvetica,Italic
Times New Roman
Times New Roman,Bold
Times New Roman,Italic

Note that this problem doesn't occur with PDFs for versions up to and including Rev 16. Note also that the PDF's file size dropped by about 31% between Rev 16 and 17.

Looks like the same problem as in
