Ahh Haa 
 Thank you Henning for the insight - I was not sure that lilypond embedded the
needed fonts to the PDF's.

Now I can make a better conclusion of what is most likely to have happened - 
The two separate recipients I sent PDF's to, most likely had not installed Adobe
Acrobat readers.
Both parties had either Win-Vista or XP - Probably had MS Office apps to
(wrongly), open the PDF's .

Guess I'll have to tell others to use Adobe - Acrobat or equivalent reader 
for PDF's next Time.

Well that solves it then.

Thanks again for your prompt response, and help on this .
