Greek letters not appearing in pdf export
I have defined a title for my map in greek and when I create a pdf export the letters are shown as dots "....." (System is Win10 64bit, text files are saved in UTF8) Any ideas on that? I tried to find an answer to the archive but I couldn't. Regards, Panos

'Fonts not available', seems likely. Or possibly 'font not defined', but I'd expect therion to complain in that case. I don't know what fonts therion uses for greek letters, but I'm guessing they are not installed on your system, or not available when/where you view the PDF. On Debian(Linux) I can use 'pdffonts <filename>' to get a list of the fonts it uses. (from the poppler-utils package). There is presumably some equivalent on Windows.

I checked the font in the pdf out and it is named CMSS10 more info from the pdf: Type: Encoding: Bult-in This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10-2.2 (Web2C 2009) kpathsea version 5.1.0 I downloaded <http://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/ttf/cmss10.ttf>the font and installed it but the dots "....." remain!

Hi, you need to set up therion to use some truetype/opentype font containing greek letters (cmss10 is not one of them). Check this: https://mailman.speleo.sk/pipermail/therion/2014-July/004950.html Martin
