Issue converting thai characters from word to pdf

Using version 24.3 we have an issue with conversion of thai characters. See input docx and output pdf where some characters are translated to little squares. Can you help us out please? Thanks a lot,

I noticed the used thai characters are used with different fonts such as ‘Browallia New’ and ‘Cordia New’, but they do not look installed on the server. Should we install them or what could be the solution?

Please proceed with the installation of missing font and inform us if the issue persists.

Hi Atir,

thanks for the advice, installing the missing font Browalia New for all users on the server fixed the conversion issue. Thanks a lot for your assistance!
