This sounds suspiciously like a unicode issue to me. What does the
message box tell you if you type:
put the textfont of fld <whatever>
------------------------------------------------
I have no font set (in the properties) for the field in my test project, so it returns empty. However, I have tried
setting the field's font to "courier" and the size to 14 for example. Trying that again now, it still
produces an incorrect PS file of course, but "put the textfont of fld <whatever>" correctly returns
"courier". The appearance of the field is correct (courier 14).
------------------------------------------------
If the text isn't all one font, you should see "mixed".
------------------------------------------------
The text is all one font.

When you paste
unicode text into a field, the textfont will change to a unicode font
for the pasted chunk. If you can calculate it, try getting the text
offsets for a pasted chunk and ask the message box this:
the textfont of char <x> to <y> of fld <whatever>
What do you get back? Is it just something like "Ariel" or is two words
separated by a comma?
------------------------------------------------
put the length of field "test" >> 290
put the textfont of char 1 to 290 of field "test" >> EMPTY!!!!!!
put the textfont of char 2 to 3 of field "test" >> EMPTY
Aha!
