In working on a short project a PDF was created from Powerpoint, everyone loved the result but it was not what the author wanted. I am working on the actual document so I started to look for a way to match what people saw in Acrobat. Turns out that everyone saw Adobe Sans MM which is the substitute font. The MM stands for Multiple Master which is a complicated cool font technology. It also means that the font everyone saw is pretty much impossible to easily reproduce.

First link in Google is to the flickr group dedicated to instances in the real world where Adobe Sans MM slipped through the creative process.
