Hey guys,

I have an XML file with a bunch of data within CDATA tags in order to be able to display special characters in my dynamic text fields.  
It all seems fine on PC but when I view it on a Mac machine the lines where a special character such as é appears get blurry.  
I can’t seem to figure out why this problem occurs so I would really appreciate it if you can help.

Thank you in advance

Here’s my xml file definition and CDATA tag:  
\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8” ?\>  
\<main\_heading\>\<![CDATA[Décor]]\>\</main\_heading\>

and here is what I actually see
