I've never had a problem but can imagine some fonts might cause trouble if the font is not one of the Adobe originals and not embedded in the pdf file. You might check the pdf properties (hit control-D while viewing the pdf file in Adobe Reader) to see what font info is in the file. I'm Softball on Multiplayer.

conRAD9055 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Dynamic Mission Briefing LUAs don't seem to do anything in my mission. They are in the mission under \KNEEBOARD\IMAGES, but when the mission loads, they are just blank grey pages, no mission frequencies or NAVAIDS. Does anyone know if they still work?
