Yep. An example (on windows anyway) was that Adobe Acrobat produced
accidental cancellation glyphs with the correct looking 'counters'
(the gap in the middle of the glyph)  whereas Foxit PDF printed the
same PDF file but with horrible squared off 'holes'. I had reported
this to Foxit and as far as I know it is still a problem

See

for screenshots.

Preview had not cause me any problems when I used to have a mac, but
it wouldn't hurt to download Acrobat (for instance) and see if you get
a different looking file for the same PDF.
