Problem with text to outlines

askari · May 19, 2003

I have a file created in Indesign and saved as an eps. When opening the file in Illustrator and converting the text to outlines, it changed a couple, but not all font characters to some weird unicode symbol.
The characters that were changed is "fi". Could this have something to do with the font used (trebuchet)? Or is is some setting in Illustrator that I dont know about?

"fi" is ligature ("f" and "i" together are replaced with one character), it is available in indesign but not in Illustrator. Make sure that document in ID doesn´t have a ligatures.
