Hi,

a) the FrontEnd used the Mathematica2.pfa font to draw (), [] and
   {}. Since your printer can not find the font it replace it
   by Courier and [] in Mathematica2 are @ and D in Courier

b) find the wolfram.map file and replace the .pfb with .pfa
   when I prepare the file I had the binary fonts and it
   was not clear, if WRI will include the ASCII or the binary
   type 1 fonts. 

Regards
  Jens
