Windows clipboard doesn't fully support all PDF formatting. Compare your
recent documents to something that copy/paste worked ok for in the past and
try to identify anything you're doing differently. It could be just about
any Acrobat feature causing the problem, even if it has nothing to do with
text or fonts.

The alternative is (unfortunately) to do a save as text from Acrobat and
then do the copy/paste.
