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 Unicode font (if 
you're on Windows, you should have Arial Unicode) and see if the problem 
persists.

This is a little out of date, but still relevant to people using non-Unicode 
fonts. It's an article I wrote for MX Developer's Journal, and it's online now 
at <http://director-online.com/buildArticle.php?id=1143>

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
