The whole document uses "Times News Roman" :-)
Sometimes, the original document ("Microsoft® Office Word 2007" as shown
in the PDF properties) makes a reference to a typeface but is not used in
any part of the document so when performing the conversion to PDF the
font is still referenced but "not visible" at all.
I think this can be the case.

It's a nice format, standard et al, but a good reader makes the PDF user
experience better or worse, and Acrobat Reader is not the one that helps
in that "better experience" task :-P
(IMO, Evince or Okular are far better than Acrobat)
