Can't Print to PDF -- WS 12

Host = Win7 Pro,   Guest = XP Pro SP3,  Workstation V12

Trying to print to PDF using both Adobe Acrobat 10 and Bullzip PDF, the output always comes out garbled regardless of the application I print from.   Test pages from printer options do not print correctly either.  This is on Workstation v12 but also occurred on v11.

Printing to normal printers works fine (both networked printers and local USB connected printers).  Only printing to PDF doesn't work.

I saw in another thread that it is due to an error in post-script handling on a LINUX VM guest.  A workaround was posted in the reply but it was for Linux.

Hoping there is a fix for XP guest printing to PDF.  Any help would be appreciated.

This is the test page printed with Adobe Acrobat 10:

The solution is to enable "legacy fonts" in HOST registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ThinPrint\TPView]
"EnableLegacyFonts"=dword:00000001
