I noticed that when I open the pdf files of a lesson on my Mac computer (OS X 10.4), the accented characters do not show up properly (they appear as other characters such as the copyright symbol,the paragraph symbol, an upside-down h, etc.)

Is there a setting I can change (ie. to unicode?) in Preview or is there a problem with the PDFs?

I can try to download Adobe for Mac if such a thing exists, but obviously fixing the problem another way is preferable.

Thanks!

I downloaded Adobe Reader for Mac and it recognizes the Esperanto characters.

Are you using Preview? They look fine on my machine OS X 10.4.1

Yes, they show up strangely in Preview. My OS is version 10.4.10 (Intel).

Hmm. Ok, I just opened one on my kids mac and it did mess up the fonts. I'll try and track down the problem however I can confirm they open properly with Acrobat.

If you download Acrobat Reader you should be able to read them without a problem.
