Adobe provides a core set of 14 fonts with Adobe Reader, implemented
using a couple of multiple master fonts. They are all you should rely on.

Those fonts are:

Courier
Courier-Bold
Courier-Oblique
Courier-BoldOblique
Times-Roman
Times-Bold
Times-Italic
Times-BoldItalic
Helvetica (Windows users know a nearly identical font as Arial)
Helvetica-Bold
Helvetica-Oblique
Helvetica-BoldOblique
Symbol
ZapfDingbats

Anything else may or may not work depending on PDF viewer, platform,
installed fonts, phase of the moon, etc.
