Here are some preliminary findings :

If I force the fields in the document to use the Helvetica font (which is used to render all the others norvegian text in the document), then the fields content is correctly rendered.

Now, the fields in the document use an Arial font (which has usesMacRoman set, don't know if it matters) and the problem appears in Gfx when trying to map the unicode value to the code rendered by the font.
For example, if I enter the character U+00F8 (ø) in a text field, in Gfx.cc:3293, when calling out->drawChar, it will map the code 'f8' to the unicode 'af' when using Arial (and therefore render a '-' instead of 'ø'). When using helvetica, it simply maps 'f8' to 'f8'.
