My daughter had the same problem as Neil describes while working on a paper this evening.  She typed a document using Times New Roman - then converted to CityBluePrint.  It looked fine.  We saved it to a memory stick and when opened on another computer it looked Arabic.  Clearly there is a problem converting these odd ball fonts.  IT would be nice if there was a warning or something to avoid this problem. She's now retyping the entire report @ midnight.
