Hello,

I don't think it's a font problem. I'd actually bet on the encoding.

Can you please try to start the JVM with the following argument:
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
(or whatever your file encoding is)

We'll see if he can't interpret the file or if he just doesn't recognize the encoding

<blockquote>Can you please try to start the JVM with the following argument</blockquote>

I'm not sure how to change the JVM parameters. Isn't invocation of the JVM handled by the application server (JBoss)?

I'm not entirely sure that is the issue anyhow. For example, you'll find that the previewer can display Arabic characters, but not Chinese characters.

Hello,

it can be either an encoding or a font problem - or both. Usually encoding problems only affect plain text files and most of the times, it is the font that is missing in an OpenOffice to PDF conversion. Please take a look at the following <a href="http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/1273/how-can-i-install-other-truetype-fonts/">ask.libreoffice.org thread</a> for installation procedure.
