Unless the font is broken it will print the way it displays. In fact, 
for non-PostScript printing screen display and printing are identical 
as far as the font is concerned. PostScript is a different matter. A 
broken font could display correctly but print incorrectly to 
PostScript.

That points to a fault in Pluto, not the font.
