printing report to PDF on Mac OS X

[Dave]

I tried putting the local.conf file in both /etc/fonts and /opt/local/ 
etc/fonts but it doesn't help.

The workaround I found was to print to a postscript file and then  
open that using Preview.app and it automatically converts it to PDF  
(and looks fine).
