Your PDF has embedded "SegoeUISymbol" with no spaces.
I don't know why the symbols are shown in the spreadsheet itself (and in a text document when I copied them to it) but not in Notepad ++. ods file and only the first 4 symbols are correctly shown and the rest are shown as rectangles. You can see which fonts are installed on the PC by Start > Control Panel > Fonts or by clicking C:\Windows\Fonts. The TestFonts add-on is invaluable for finding missing fonts which the document is asking for, but which are not installed on the PC.
This may NOT be the font being used to create the display because, if the font being asked for is not installed on the PC, Windows (or other operating system) will silently substitute a different font which is available. Remember that the font showing in the Writer font drop-down selection box is the font the document is asking for. Irrespective of whether you tick the Embed fonts box AOO embeds the fonts in a PDF. Not sure if this helps?

"Square boxes in a PDF" occur when a font is missing. The ones that don't work have five digit numbers (U+1F3E0, 1F464, 1F4BB, 1F4DE and 1F4F1 again in order). Last note - the four that display correctly have four character Unicode names (U+260E, 260F, 27 in order on the Calc sheet).
Segoe ui font symbols how to#
I've attached examples for everyone to poke, so please have at it as I've hit a wall with the little I know how to play with These seem to be the problem in other similar issues I've found on the forum, so now I'm stuck. The PDF properties show the font as Segoe UI Symbol, and Control Panel shows Segoe UI Symbol as an installed font. The first four symbols are fine and the rest each display as two blank squares. My big problem is when I export the sheet to PDF. The formula bar keeps showing some of them as half of the character in that cell combined with half of a character from cell above or below it, depending on if I "arrow up-ed" or "arrow down-ed" to get to it. They display fine in the sheet and in the print preview. I have a Calc sheet of Segoe UI Symbols inserted from the Insert Special Character tool in the Insert menu. I'm no computer genius, so if this is a macro fix I'm stuffed, but maybe someone has a "You've got the settings wrong" solution or at least a "You can't actually do that" message for me! To start with, I'm running OO 4.1.4 on Windows 7 Pro.
