Cause

Some text in the report is a UNICODE style text that is not supported by the default font.
FDM reports were not written for localization.

Solution

As there are many reports for FDM, it is best to approach this as a one-on-one situation.

You can edit each of the reports that cause an error and change the font to a unicode font.  Such as Arial Unicode.
