Dear Scribe users,

I have a field in Filemaker that has a Wingdings font. I am using char (252) which is a checkmark. When I write this to the PDF form field (which also has the Wingding font selected) I get the "ü" char, BUT when I press on the PDF Form field it changes to a checkmark. I want the checkmark to be shown and not the "ü". How can I do this? See screenshot attached.

 

Kind regards,

Hi Baran,

I suspect the issue is because FileMaker evaluates a char(252) as the ü character so that is what Scribe is writing to the PDF. Since the "ü" character doesn't exist in the Windings font and the field in your PDF is set to the Windings, when you click into the field that character is then changed to the checkmark. I had better results by using option+V (Mac) or ALT+0252 (Windows) to type the √ in the FileMaker field and then use Scribe to write that value to the PDF.
