Hi all
I have a roster where I've (unwisely) chosen a whole load of non-standard charachters:

Unfortunately, when I output to PDF, it generates a bit of a messy series of question marks in their place:

Is this an issue with OBBLM or the pdf viewer I'm using? Any pointers on what I can do to correct it?
Cheers!

Unfortunately you cannot simply "fix" this.
The PDF generating library that OBBLM uses has difficulties with working the same text encoding as PHP (and the database). Thus, when converting the text encodings of player and team names, not all characters can be represented in the smaller range of symbols supported in the text encoding that the PDF library uses.

Okay, no worries. So I should just switch to Roman characters only?
