Rendering local font formatting in TOCs

[jasonsmith]

I'm trying to get the entries in my table of contents to look the same as my headers where there is a mix of fonts.
For instance, if I have an h1 "From A to O" and use the Symbol font to show the Greek symbols alpha and omega, the heading shows the Greek symbols but in my table of contents (TOC 1 font is Arial), they are rendered as A and O. Am I missing something pretty basic?
I'm using Flare 7.

Are you outputting to online help? You have to specify fonts that your users will have.

Are you outputting to PDF? Embed the fonts.

I'm generating a PDF target. How can I embed fonts? I can't find any setting in the Target file.

The TOC will use the plain text from the heading, but won't include any font/formatting.

To get it working, you'd have to use the greek characters that are in the Arial font, rather than use Symbol font.

I can't find any Greek characters in the Arial font set.
This was just an example. What I'm actually trying to get the Table of Contents to do is render Latin and Japanese characters together in the same heading.
Using a font that produces good-looking Japanese produces horrible-looking numbers and Latin characters and vice versa.

If you look in Windows Character Map, you can see all the characters in a font - Arial includes greek characters, but not Japanese.

Anyway, entries in the generated TOC (using the TOC proxy) will not include styles/formatting from the original headings; so you'd be stuck with using a single font.

Now, there is a cross-reference format that would include the styles/formatting from the heading (by using {paraxml}); so it'd be possible to manually create your list of contents using cross-references, but obviously that's a bit of a tedious job.

If you are using an Adobe print driver to generate a PDF (and that's a good practice), you select the driver, right-click, select Printing Preferences, and Edit the default settings. Select Fonts, select all fonts and embed them. Save the job options file. Select the new job options file as your default options file for the print driver.
