Hi

or http://www.frako.de/Site/WWW_FRAKO_DE/D ... 7_8068.pdf

Hello Andy,

This could be just that this document is missing a font, and the substitute our Viewer uses does not have all the needed characters (Adobe has access to some fonts that we can not use for licensing/proprietary reasons), but I have also asked the guys in our dev team to take a look at this, and I am sure they will advise if there is anything that can be done to improve the way this file is displayed.

Best,
Stefan

Hello Andy,

Our dev guys confirmed that this is a well known problem with embedded TTFonts. We will resolve this in ver3 of our Viewer:
