Hi Jeremias, What can be done when I have characters in the xml that don't have a glyph in the used font? I can fall back to another font, which in this case is ArialUni but that doesn't get the bold or italic style if needed.
What do you mean with Using ArialUni,Bold In stead of ArialUni in the /BaseFont entry? Where do I put that?
