Please check the document in the attached file. This file is rendered well in Acrobat Reader or Foxit PDF Reader, but in PDF-XChange Viewer is rendered with incorrect fonts.

Sorry, but I'm afraid that we can do nothing with this, at least for now.
Your file contain text, but fonts are not embedded, and they have NON-STANDARD encoding. In such cases Adobe/Foxit may ignore some rare characters in encoding and use one of their built-in fonts. Viewer try to select replacement font with all required characters present, so in many cases we select fonts different from Adobe/Foxit. And if your system does not contain similar font with required characters we will select another one (which contains them), and it may look different than what you expected.
Solutions for now are:
- Ask the pdf creator to embed those fonts used, as recommended by PDF standard (or at least use normal encoding, without rare characters, which are not really used).
- Find font Frutiger-Bold with all required characters and install it on all target systems.
- Wait for the next version of our Viewer and hope that everything will be as you want. ;)
PS. On my system the file does not look that bad - fonts from the Arial family are used for replacement and the result is OK.
