Re: Problems with fonts when printing

Follow up on that. I set up some folder in the flow so I can gather all files that has that composite font problem. I'm creating an action list that changes all fonts I find to a simple version of that font, instead of the composite version. One problem I'm facing is that the clients use UNICODE CHA...
