Character set problem (ISO vs. Unicode) Oct 21, 2004

This is a guess -
I went looking for information about this font and found it at Adobe. According to Adobe's website, it is an ISO font rather than Unicode. I would suspect the font more than any application at this point.

Once the character has been changed to a ?, changing the font won't correct the issue. Try re-typing the text in a different font.

One possible solution is to select a different Arabic original font. I defer otherwise to Tim Gregory's good advice, as he is a "bash muhandess" about such technical matters in working on production into the Arabic (with or without TRADOS).

Hope this helps. Khair, in sha' Allah.
