IE9 Printing Problems - Text is garbled when trying to print

Problem with printing some content from Internt Explorer in Adobe 9 Pro. The text is garbled.
Running Windows 7.  Printing an HTML page (not an Adobe Reader view) to the Adobe PDF "printer" (Distiller in Adobe 9 Pro) from IE9 Beta (and now IE9 RC) garbles the text. IE8 and other browsers do not exhibit this behavior. IE9 prints without this behavior to XPS and other printers (PostScript not tested).  Selecting the garbled text in the PDF and then copying and pasting into Notepad produces the same content as seen in the browser, hence a font-substitution issue.
The problem is resolved by unchecking "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" on the Adobe PDF settings tab in the printer preferences window.
