Remember that the font displayed in the document's Font selection box is the font the document is calling for at the cursor position. The document is calling for a font which you do not have installed and the PDF uses square boxes instead. John_Ha wrote:The square boxes tell you that it is a problem with your fonts.

Note that some fonts do not have a font file for, say, Italic and in that case, when Italic is called for, Windows itself applies a slant to the font to simulate Italic. The Testfonts add-on is invaluable to check which fonts are being called for in a document, and which are missing and have therefore been substituted. This may not be the font being used to display or print the document because, if you do not have the font being called for installed on your PC, Windows (or other operating system) will silently substitute an alternative, available font without telling you.

The square boxes tell you that it is a problem with your fonts.
