Though that potentially could be the issue, often printers produce off
color due to ink levels which are not reported correctly by the software.
Have you checked, or are you sure you haven't run out of black ink and the
printer is attempting to *mix* a black color?
Also, there have been times when certain printers will attempt to mix
colors even when there are inks available, because the *driver* is
configured in the master application/printers to use color rather than black
[colors can be configured in the applications which required or should have
them].
As for the font issue: it is possible, however, it would be conducive to
know if you have Office, Adobe, or other applications which have installed
their own fonts, or which are attempting to manage them.
