Unicode characters not changing font

In our project we allow the user to change font style from regular to italic (and vice versa). This is done by changing the unicode of the highlighted text and stored to the database.

It looks fine in the UI we use but when generating a report, the font applied is ignored.
In the example below you can see that the words “Presumptive” and “Confirmation” are a different font to “Coliforms”

Hello,

the cause in this context may be that the font used does not support the desired (selected) Unicodes.

Therefore, we would recommend using RTF instead. This would allow “italics” to be switched cleanly without having to work with Unicode.

Apologies, I forgot to say that the text is shown in rich text format I will check to see which Unicode we use and see if it supports italics (or not).

Thanks
