Is there a More button when you see the export screen?

I'm starting to suspect this is a bug. Embed fonts simply doesn't work, it always converts to curves! I've tried with several different system fonts, all are converted to curves (which is just meant to be an option in the menu list).

Edit. I’ve posted a bug report in the bug thread to see if this (convert to curves) is a bug or by design.

Thanks very much for your help with this. 

I'm guessing that the thing for me to do at this point is purchase the desktop version (or see if I can get the trial version) and open the .afdesign file there, and do the export to PDF, being careful to ensure the text does not get converted to outlines.

I would agree that it does seem like a bug in the ios version, but of course I can't be sure. I guess we'll see what kind of response develops on DM1's post to the BUG forum.

I'm really surprised that no one at Affinity would weigh in on this or even acknowledge the topic after 10 days, but ...

Anyway, I will try the desktop version for now.

Thanks again.
