My first question--is the custom font a Unicode font? It should be, with =
54665 glyphs (ISO 8859.x fonts only have 255 glyphs).

I'm guessing there is an issue with the way the font was created--I'm not=
 sure what the problem would be, but here's a test. Embed a system Unicod=
e font (if you're on Windows, you should have Arial Unicode) and see if t=
he problem persists.

This is a little out of date, but still relevant to people using non-Unic=
ode fonts. It's an article I wrote for MX Developer's Journal, and it's o=
nline now at <http://director-online.com/buildArticle.php?id=3D1143>

Cordially,
