  1. Thank you for working on this, and for sending me the fixed fonts! Would you be so kind as to elaborate a bit on what was the problem with the PostScript Name field in the Bold font? I had actually considered that possibility, but could not see anything wrong with the font. Here is what I had found in the TrueType Reference Manual on Apple Developer https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6name.html The PostScript Name in the original font is AlteHaasGrotesk_Bold -- that's not longer than 63 characters, the characters are all printable ASCII, and none of them are from that set of ten that may not be used. So somehow I'm missing what is wrong with that font, but I'd like to learn. Thank you!
  2. I am using Publisher v1.7.2 on macOS 10.12.6. I created a very simple Publisher document--just one text box with a few words in it. Part of the text is set to Alte Haas Grotesk Regular and the rest is set to Alte Haas Grotesk Bold. The Alte Haas Grotesk font is freely available from https://www.dafont.com/alte-haas-grotesk.font and I placed the two ttfs in a folder somewhere under ~/Library/Fonts. When I right-click on the font in FontBook and then click "Validate Font", it reports that "No problems were found validating these fonts." Now, everything looks fine in Publisher; the font looks right, and I can see the difference between Regular and Bold. However, when I export to PDF, everything is not fine. Instead of using the Bold font, it uses the Regular weight, so there is no Bold font at all in the PDF--all the text is in the Regular weight. I have attached the .afpub, the exported PDF, a screenshot of the PDF export settings, and a .zip containing the Alte Haas Grotesk fonts downloaded from dafont. I created a similar document in InDesign, and the exported PDF uses both the Regular and Bold fonts as expected. alte_haas_grotesk.zip Untitled.pdf Untitled.afpub
