See:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=glyph

Used for example in the term "hiero-glyph", which may ring a bell (?).

In short:
All fonts have a set of these "glyphs" for a number of characters. The fonts
you use most likely are meant for Western languages, meaning they have no
glyph for Cyrillic / Chinese / Japanese ... characters.
So you need to find a font which *does* have a glyph for the character(s)
you want to have in your output.

Hope this helps!

Greetz,

Andreas

Ii don’t know the term "glyph". Who's that?

Should normally be no problem if the used font contains a glyph for the
desired character...
(I'm guessing it doesn't, and only a '#' character appears in your output?)

HTH!

Greetz,
