What would cause SOME, not all, links to have the text in the body of the writing (not the titles or ads etc) to have a font that looks like Greek. If I copy and paste it it becomes correct. The letters are partial and it's quite attractive but almost illegible. Not all links, either, 2 tonight out of maybe 10.

TIA

Best guess... If the original document used a font not available on your computer, your computer will select an "equivalent" font to use. In your case, it sounds like it selected some sort of symbol font. The ascii code for the characters is still there, however, so when you copy and paste into another document where you're using a readable font, the ascii characters go back to being familiar characters.

When I worked in IT we frequently had to remind our Marketing people with their fancy fonts not to use them for documents that mere mortals had to work with.

Thanks, hkrause! First time I've ever had this happen tho, in years of computing. Weird.

Guess what, hkrause, it was an Adobe update I had been neglecting. . .
