Text in PDF's displays as dots!

We are starting to see a number of users running into text display issues when creating PDF's using the DWG to PDFplotter in AutoCAD 2010.

When the PDF is opened, a message dialog pops up saying that a particular font cannot be found or created. In this example the font listed is "ArialMT".

     

After clicking OK the PDF opens, but some of the text is displayed as dots.

 
This problem occurs if the text contains any kind of unicode special character.

The workaround to the issue is to set the font handling in the DWG to PDF.pc3 file to "Capture all".

 

Once the pc3 file has been configured to "Capture all" fonts the PDF files will be created correctly.

That a boy,
I'v been pulling my hair out trying to get this resolved and for a bald man that's really hard to do.

Thanks
