snukalot Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 When I export from Publisher (Windows) to PDF with fonts set to "embedded," I get utterly mangled body text--total gibberish. I have only one copy of the font installed. Interestingly, where the text is in bold weight or italic, this does not occur. I'm using a font called "Crimson," and the default thickness/style is referred to as "Roman" rather than, say, Regular, and I wonder if this has something to do with it. But I don't understand why this would be. Of course it publishes to PDF fine when I change the text setting to curves, but still this isn't exactly ideal. This is for a magazine that will be going to print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 1) In your Export Setting is Subset Fonts checked (you see it, when you hit the More button)? If yes, uncheck the box and export again. 2) If 1) wasn't helpful, please post your APu document and the exported PDF for others to examine.

snukalot Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Joachim, Thank you for your response. That appears to have worked - which is excellent. But WHY did that work? Why would Publisher default to a setting that breaks text on export? Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
