I don’t remember ever seeing this problem before. I tried googling it, but didn’t have much success. I typed some text in a graphic symbol, and they all showed up fine when I exported the file, except for the first character after a period. ("…for your business. lease browse through…") - the “P” is missing in what should be “Please” (Yes, I checked and the P is really there in my file).

I’m using static text with “selectable text” on, and the Verdana font. Any idea what happened, and how to fix this?
