Squares replacing accented letters in Quark

[sarah_epicure]

Thanks for any help you could provide with this!
I have a project laid out in Quark, in the font Skia. All looks well when I view it in quark, but when I print a physical copy or export it to a PDF, all of the letters that have accents (much of the layout is in French) all turn into little squares.
Any suggestions for a fix beyond getting a better font? I know, I know...it should all be in OpenType...unfortunately my workplace doesn't budget for good fonts

It's possible that the font includes only the display font and not the printer font -- in which case, like you've discovered, displays the fonts fine but doesn't print them.

If the printer font isn't in there, the printer font isn't in there and it's just not going to work.

Isn't Skia one of the fonts included with the Mac OS?

ElDiabloConCaca, it's a bit more complicated than that. Certain apps have spotty support for certain graphics formats. Earlier this week, I discovered a Symbol character included in a PDF generated by Canvas X did not print from the linked publication. The Acrobat Pro-generated version of the PDF printed perfectly.
