Hello.

Could you specify which version of our product you use?
How do you export the report?
Do you have necessary fonts on your system?

Thank you.

Hello.

Most of the standard fonts do not contain national characters. In this case, Windows uses the "font fallback". This algorithm is very complicated and, therefore, is not realized in the exports. To output national characters, please, use the font which contains all necessary characters. For example, the "Arial Unicode MS" font contains many national characters.

Thank you.
