Font doesn't show diacritic chars correctly

[Guest]

I have a font - Helvetica Vanlig Tekst - which shows and prints fine, except
for the diacritic characters, those show in default font. In WordPad for
example the chars comes out right, that's why I thought it could have
something to do with a setting in Word? When I look in the symbols table of
that font, it's empty apart from the last used symbols. I have Word 2002 &
2003 and XP.

Hi Rune,

It sounds like a damaged (or badly constructed) font. For some reason, Word
can't determine which characters are available in the font.

What happens if you cut the text to the clipboard (Ctrl+X), and then "Edit

Paste Special" as unformatted text?

That might fix the characters with diacritics.

Maybe someone in microsoft.public.word.printingfonts can give you better
help.
For troubleshooting, it would help to know which characters with diacritics
don't show in the font, and if the problem is with newly typed text or with
old documents.

Regards,
Klaus

I tried it and the same thing happens. Actually, I might have been a bit
unclear about what happens, but with every diacritic char it turns back to
the default font, Times New Roman.
I have only new documents.
Thanks for the respons so far and the link, maybe that would be a better
place to ask

Cheers!
