It does sound like there is a difference in the kinds of fonts on the 
computers compared with yours. You probably need to do a survey of the 
available fonts on each computer to make sure they all have what they 
need. You can find the information in File > Preferences > Fonts. There 
is also the FontSample script, that can create a document using 
available fonts.

Another way to check this would be to do File > Collect for Output from 
your home computer, including the necessary font data, then take that to 
school and see what happens. If it's a font availability problem, this 
should work on every computer.
