| Problem | Symptom | Solution (Updated Format) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | “ކަން” appears as “ކނ” | Use Sitee v2.1+ with Unicode 13 support. | | Font Substitution | PDF shows Arial or Tahoma instead of Sitee | The PDF must be “Font-Embedded.” Updated versions always embed. | | Line RTL Chaos | Words reverse order (e.g., “އަހަރެން ދިއަން” becomes jumbled) | Old PDFs lack proper Right-to-Left (RTL) metadata.
