Letters converted to some other language letter in Publisher v1

[minimejdh1]

I just went into my Publisher v1 file to make a correction and letters were substituted with others (see attached for an example).  How did this happen?  Is there a setting I can change or do I have to go through each change throughout the document?

Hi!

It seems that you inserted the "ti"-ligature where it is substituted now, right? Is this the same font you initially created the text with? Possibly this font, the text actually is written with, doesn't offer this ligature and substitutes it?

I highlighted one of the words and checked typography.  I didn't do anything knowingly.  Previously it was fine, I exported and printed.  When I opened to change date on the document I noticed the changes throughout certain words in the document. 

Not sure how this may have been introduced... I am not that advanced to try something.

Are you Opening a Publisher file (.afpub) or a PDF you previously Exported? 

If it's a PDF, then ideally you would be using the native .afpub file for editing, instead. If you're using a PDF you lose information, such as Text Styles. And you can have problems like you've described if you use ligatures and allow font sunsetting when you Export. You need to tell Publisher not to Subset the fonts.

.afpub for sure.  not from PDF.  I wasn't using ligatures...Hi Walt...not sure what I am doing to cause this stuff.  I just reopened the file.

It's only a supect, I don't really know what happened. But it seems obvious that there are ligatures substituted by other Glyphs: "tt" was substituted by "É", "ti" by "Ē" and whatever by "Ğ". Possibly those ligatures were inserted automatically as you created that document, because you had the Typography-function activated. But I can't really say that. Walt's suggestion sounds promising to me.

Okay..thanks.

What was the source of the text?
Was it typed-in, or pasted, or imported from another application?

What operating system do you use?

What font is being used?

Can you attach the file?
(or a part of it)

I am thinking I must have opened a PDF when I thought I was opening the .afpub file.  Appreciate everyone's help.

Did you possibly change Publisher's language-setting in the meantime? Or do you use Type-1-Fonts? Type 1 is no longer supported since some years. I don't know what happens if you use it anyway. Or did you change something with the installed fonts on your computer? I had big problems some years ago, because I installed too many fonts. Finally I had to reinstall Windows because of that. To prevent such problems I recommend a Font Manager like FontBase.
