That is a good option, thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you Libre for the comprehensive explanation. I am no expert, so much of the more technical side of things will go straight over my head. Dealing with fonts in the Affinity suit is one hiccup that I keep encountering. I have downloaded dozens of fonts from Google Fonts to be able to open PDF files that have embedded fonts that I do not have installed. For example if I want to print a brochure from a PDF file, Adobe will always open the fonts without an issue but APub will almost always require me to download a new font. Is there a way to convert text to curves when opening a PDF in APub? I realise this is not necessarily an issue with Affinity Publisher, but it is not as user friendly to open/merge/print PDF's as Adobe Acrobat etc. Affinity Publisher is probably "over powered" for the function I am using it for, but I can't justify purchasing Adobe Acrobat Reader for over $200 a year.

Same PC but when I perform the same operations on a different PC samer result. Both Windows.

Interesting. That is quite frustrating as calibri is the most commonly used font type (MS Word Defult). I don't think I could get my work colleges to consistently use a different font. I did try export and open the same document above with a arial font type, no issues.

Thanks for the suggestion Callum, I would prefer save with PDF with text rather than curves but that would be on workaround. I am using Windows 10.

Thank you all very much for the prompt support! I used this fix (turn off Standard Ligatures) and I do not have any issues now.

Program: Affinity Publisher Version: 1.10.5 Font type: Calibri - Regular When opening a PDF in Affinity Publisher, that was created in Affinity Publisher, some of the text is altered. The text is not altered when the PDF is opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader. This only happens with Calibri font type. See attached imaged for before and after export. It seems to convert "ti" to "Ï " or "Á" Is there a was to fix the way Publisher reads the text? Is this a common issue with Publisher? Regards Tom
