For some characters in, say, Adobe's Helvetica, the LaserWriter will
output a glyph from the Symbol font. This is a pain for things like
the registered trademark ("R" in a circle) where Helvetica has a great
Helvetica version, but the Symbol version is like Times.
As a kicker, my copy of Adobe's New Aster gets the correct circle-R,
TM, etc., but the wrong mu (micro symbol). The mu is coming from
Symbol. (This is confirmed by looking at the "Disk File" PostScript
file.)
How does the Apple LaserWriter decide to substitute glyphs from
Symbol?
