VW12.5 Export PDF..."tab" spaces = visible squares

[samb'ham]

In VW 12.5 (OS X) when I create a PDF by using Export>PDF, every "tab" space in my text boxes is printed as a visible box or a box w/ an 'x'. (I noticed this when I got the prints back from the print shop.)

This doesn't happen when I create PDF's thru the Mac OS X print dialogue.

apparently it's a 'feature'...

search this board for the work-around.

on windows you have to load a few hundred MB of venezuelan or filipino or japanese fonts or something and it all works fine! now where is my xp installation disc?

Could someone from Vectorworks please respond? This a Mac OS X. (We did happen to delete most foreign language fonts) Is there a setting to adjust?
