Symbol font displays in all output except pdf

Unread post by Ga Bowen »

When I publish to pdf (left), I get symbol fonts displaying as question marks. Other output (eWriter, right) seems fine.

The symbols are from the Insert Symbol, Character Map, Character Codes 25B2,25BA, 25BC and 25C4.

Hi Gareth,

Getting them to display with regular fonts is possible but can be a bit of a dance. The simplest method is to activate the new version 8 option to export symbol characters as scalable SVG glyphs. See here to learn how to do it:
