Hi,

I have a form with a couple of simple text fields. I'm using a font there that has trouble showing special characters (CE ones: čšž, ČŠŽ).
The funny thing is, the same font is used in the normal document text, which I can edit freely, and special characters show without problems.
The font is Helvetica LT Com 45 Light; I know that the font can't be embedded because of copyright restrictions, but the document is intended for use on a computer that has that font installed.

For reference, if I use Arial or some other font, special characters show as intended in the form.

Any ideas how to overcome this? Does the form (or text fields themselves) have any special settings for rendering fonts? Or is this perhaps a straight up font issue?

Thanks, regards,
Matej

Sounds like a font issue. Like you said, the font you're trying to use can't be embedded in the file, so you should consider using a different one.
