This would be typical of importing Mac/Win Type 1 fonts or ANSI only True
Type. The range ANSI characters (128-255) varies depending on the platform
which it was input from; add to the caveat introduce by the "native" program
(Quark, InDesign, Pages, MSWord, Outlook, PDF). In theory Livecode handles it
correctly, but many cases not...(through no fault of its own). I spent year(s)
in that world.
The only answer: Unicode. Are you sure the text is Unicode?

I am importing some text where certain characters do not look right. When
I test their charToNum values I get, for example, 226 and 232. 226 is shown as
a comma, but should be a lower case a with a circumflex, and 232 is shown as an
upper case e with an umlaut but should be a lower case e with accent grave. Is
there some font I can choose, or some other action I should take, to get these
(and others) to display properly?
