Hello, I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong place.

I am having trouble when receiving certain documents in Russian. Sometimes -- and what's weird is that it is not always! -- the fonts are gibberish or just blanks ("________"). It has been happening when I receive documents in either Powerpoint and Word. These would be documents prepared by someone on a PC and opened by me on a Mac (using Microsoft Office for Mac). I wonder if anyone is having the same problem and knows the solution.

The only way I have found to solve the problem is to highlight the text and change the font to other cyrillic fonts. This can be very difficult (or impossible) in large documents with embedded tables, etc.

Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
