Character display problems in output

[ehill]

I'm using Oxygen 11, XEP and DITA to produce pdfs in different languages.

I receive files back in languages that have special characters (example: r-carron in Czech is being displayed as a space and accented characters are not showing in other languages). The translation company said it was because these needed to have UTF-8 encoding. I looked EVERYWHERE for how to set this and did multiple things, but it's not working.

How do I set this so these characters show up in my pdf output (note: they show up in the table of contents on the left side, but not in the body text of the document.

Hello,

I'm not sure if this will help you with the PDF problem.

You can simply change the UTF encoding in the XML declaration. If the XML file doesn't have one simply add it at the beginning:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
(You have to do this in Text mode.)

When you save the file it will be saved with the new encoding.

Regards,
Adrian

In the Ditamap? It already says this.

Hi,

You probably have to install new fonts to XEP (fonts which are able to render the characters appropriately).
