LarrySunshine Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Tried to open and edit older AI file then export it to PDF, this happens. It shows fine in Designer, but PDF shows alien writings, it catches only italic font somehow. I don't want this to happen again in future, so maybe there are some PDF settings or something?

Staff DWright Posted March 11, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 11, 2020 If your PDF file was originally created using premium fonts then Affinity will not be able to read these fonts and will try to substitute it for the nearest font on your computer, you can try manually changing the font to Ariel Unicode MS as this font has a very large character map and is compatible with most text.

It's Montserrat Google font. It shows fine in the program, it only messes up the font in exported PDF. Also notice that it exports the italic font fine. Also, I am pretty sure these symbols are Montserrat font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarrySunshine Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 K, I tried one thing - save it as affinity designer file then exported again - all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
