Are you are trying to print from an Office program (this is generally the case) to Adobe PDF and getting the following error?

%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%% Cambria not found, using Courier. %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: show ]%%

Stack: ()

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

That's definitely an annoying error, that doesn't tell you much about how to fix it. It's clearly tied to printing, but the place to fix it is inside of Adobe's settings menu when printing to PDF.
