Yeah, as I have written in previous email, this is caused by PDFedit which don't understand code pages generated by OO. I am not very familiar with code pages and Jozo may know a lot more in this area, but I would like to have a look at this issue. > > In the other hand, there is no way I can create new national language > characters that will show in the document either.

There are currently 2 bugs reported in this area (http://pdfedit.petricek.net/bt/view.php?id=252, http://pdfedit.petricek.net/bt/view.php?id=118) so please feel free to update your documents there so that we have more testing material. > > Is there any reference example or something which works that I can > relay on - to start with? Not sure I understand what are you asking about, but I remember that we had some documents where national characters were OK (at least Czech and Slovak).
