LEADER CHARACTERS

Quick Question on LEADER CHARACTERS

I'm using leader characters on a menu
Using decimal tabs ................ £1.50

etc

However, when outputting to PDF the dots go missing but tabs are correct - Anyone able to output these to PDF? Am I missing something?

I'm Not alone apparently. Exporting text as Shapes might fix it But a A4 Page of shapes - File Size will balloon and fonts could get ugly?
