I use a special font to write text with diacritical marks for
transliterated
Sanskrit. It works fine in the document but not in the Find and Replace
dialog box, where I get only indecipherable symbols. Is there any way to
get
the Find and Replace dilaog box text boxes to use the proper font, so that
I
can replace words without the diacritical marks with words that do have
them?
