Save to pdf characters not recognized

[JorisWils]

Hi.

I have the phone and fax characters in a textbox. When saving to pdf they get lost.

Is there a way to solve this?

Hello.

Sorry for the delay with answer.
You are using symbols from different fonts in one text component.
If you use some special symbols which the standard fonts does not contain, In this case Windows uses the "font fallback". This algorithm is very complicated and, therefore, is not realized in the exports.
If you change the Text Quality property of the text component to the WYSIWYG, you will see the text that you will get in the exported report.
Please, use several text components or Rich Text component.

Thank you.

Hi
The text is just one field in the database, so I can't use multiple textboxes. These are simply unicode chars...
But these aren't supported for calibri, so i tried "Arial Unicode MS", but the fax symbox isn't sopported in that font.
If I use "Segoe UI Symbol" both characters look fine when exporting to PDF

(Even not supported by the forum's database I noticed when submitting this message )

Hello.

If you copy this text, for instance, to MS Word. You will see that fax symbol is from "Segoe UI Symbol" font.

Thank you.
