I have a dynamic text box that loads text from an external file… mmy problem is that the chatcters æ, ø and å (and the right part af the word they appear in) are displayed as cute little rectangles…

What to do, what to do??

I’ve tried to “embed to font outlines” (don’t knows what it means, but why not try??), but then the text just disapears

heeeeeee(eeeeeeeeeee)lp
