Romanian text in Quark

If you bothered to click on this link, you have too much time on your hands.

Nevertheless, I got me a problem. Copying text from one file to another, it leaves gaps where all of the special 't's are (the 't's with commas/apostrophes underneath). However, it's not really a gap, it's that the letter isn't being displayed. Can't/shouldn't be a font issue, as it's all in Helvetica.

I'm copying from a PDF because this is the only place we have the text. If I copy into word, I also lose the letters. Presumably it's copying from the PDF that's the problem.

Anyone got any ideas? At the moment I'm having to go through comparing both sets of text, and adding the special 't's where they're missing. This is a bitch, as there's 12 pages of text.

have you tried opening (rather than pasting into) the pdf in illustrator then exporting as a text file and import into Quark, as well copying and pasting.

Illustrator is usually a good way of opening and extracting pdf elements.

In Acrobat Pro (not sure about normal Acrobat) you can also - Save As - Text (2 options).

What version of Quark you on as v7.3 has updated Romanian text issues.

Not sure though, good luck.
