The standard fonts used in Therion do not contain these characters. The dot indicates all characters missing in the used fonts. The latest snapshot contains new code which makes it easy to use new fonts with unicode support (truetype and opentype). Just edit the therion.ini file and add the lines: otf2pfb off pdf-fonts <rm> <it> <bf> <ss> <si> # paths to fonts in five styles Extract from the new docs: Set-up fonts to be used in PDF maps. The command has to be followed by paths specifying where regular, italic, bold, sans-serif and sans-serif oblique fonts are located in your system. TrueType and OpenType fonts are supported. Therion requires LCDF Typetools to be installed on your system to use this command. Example: pdf-fonts "/usr/share/fonts/Serif.ttf" \ "/usr/share/fonts/Serif-Italic.ttf" \ "/usr/share/fonts/Serif-Bold.ttf" \ "/usr/share/fonts/Sans.ttf" \ "/usr/share/fonts/Sans-Oblique.ttf" (LCDF typetools are included in the Windows installer.)
