character combination fi (lower case f and i together) converts to a question mark

Using Corel Designer X6 (version 16.4.2.1282) and Helvetica font, the "fi" in a word displays normally in Designer.  For example: final displays as final.

However, copied from Designer and pasted into FrameMaker, the "fi" displays as "?".  So, "final" displays as "?nal".

Determined it is not FrameMaker, since pasting into Lotus Notes delivers the same result.

I've also tried Arial font for the whole word with the same results: lower case "final" gets converted into "?nal".

At this point the workaround for us is to change the "i" to Helvetica CE or Arial font since it is not noticeable and the correct characters display.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
