Zusätzliche Informationen

This is a known limitation of Microsoft GDI - specifically ArcMap is using GDI 'fallback' to display a font face that does not support Arabic codepage by using a different font. This remapping of fonts is not compatible with the output/conversion to PDF, so the characters are rendered as boxes. The fonts do render in TIFF since that's rasterized from GDI directly (as is the screen representation) rather than translated to another format. More info about fallback is available in the "Font linking and Fallback" section of this document: http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=Drawing_differences_between_ArcMap_and_optimized_map_services The recommended workaround for these fallback-related issues is to use a font that DOES support the font and face (style) you'd like to use. How can you tell? If they're fonts that are installed with Windows, you can look on the Microsoft Typography site to find out what codepages are supported. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/ For example, you can see that Times New Roman DOES support Arabic but only in normal and Bold face. Italic and BoldItalic faces DO NOT support Arabic codepage. Times new Roman (does support Arabic) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/times-new-roman#times-new-roman Times New Roman Bold (yes): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/times-new-roman#times-new-roman-bold Times New roman BoldItalic (no): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/times-new-roman#times-new-roman-bold-italic Times new roman Italic (no Arabic) : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/times-new-roman#times-new-roman-italic
