Re: Problem in printing French Character!

Dear Tom Ferguson,

I follow your advice, but it does not work, the printer I am using is
Lexmark e238, I did change the settings as you described. And further when I
tried another way-change the postscript options, and let it print as image,
Acorbat simply stopped responding.

Those characters not shown correctly are those in French characters only,
those shared with English characters can be printed correctly.

To add to this, I tried to print out some other pdf documents in French,
without changing the settings, they work just fine. FYI, I post the linkage
where you can download the pdf form in question and try it youself if you
wish.

or you can click instead on thihs linkage, namely, Application Form (French
Only):

Thank you for the help!

The symptoms are those of a classic font substitution problem. Are you
using a PostScript or PCL laser printer? In either case, navigate to the
settings in the printer driver for font substitution and make sure it is
set to _not_ substitute fonts and to print as graphics, if that setting
is available. Alternately, if possible, print using a desk jet. It
always prints as graphics.



If this does not work, please let us know which characters are not
printing correctly. I rarely use Acrobat and never in French so there
might be some other issue in play that I am not recognizing.
