Received a e-mail today and it had a attachment that needed to be opened with adobe. i have opened other e-mails and found nothing wrong with opening them. But when i tried to open one of them today this is the message i got.
'a font required for fonts substitution is missing'
then next came this message.
'can't find or create the font 'andakwt' some characters may not display or print correctly'
then i got pages of blank lines like this
what's all that about.

Just to check - what error do you get after you have clicked OK?0 -
this was the first message wheni tried to open it.
'a font required for fonts substitution is missing'
so i clicked ok then came this message.
'can't find or create the font 'andakwt' some characters may not display or print correctly'
i then clicked on ok and got no further message just a page with some english writing at the top then pages of ~~~~~~ un-readable material.
What should i download on the adobe page that you gave me. Also i have version 6 on my computer would i be better updating to version 7.0 -
I would certanly try version 7 first, simply because it's so much faster than 6.
Below is the direct download link, just select relevant options.

I can find reference to an 'andakt' font but not andakwt font. Appears to be a foreign character font so you may not be able to read it - even if it could be displayed!0
