Jim_Tim Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hi, I'm new to Affinity Publisher! But, first impressions are fantastic. For what I do, I actually genuinely prefer it to Indesign. 😀 However, I have ran into an issue, which I'm hoping is a straightforward one to resolve... So we use FUTURA fonts a lot. It appears fine in the Affinity file (1st image), but when I export to PDF the text does very strange things - see 2nd image. Does anybody know why? I've also attached the font settings...

Joachim_L Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 What were your export settings? Maybe it helps to uncheck the Subset Font feature hidden under the More button in the export dialogue?

Staff Gabe Posted May 28, 2020 Staff Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hi @Jim_Tim, Welcome to the forums. Can you please upload your project file and the fonts in question to our dropbox so we can have a look? https://www.dropbox.com/request/UdibzxY1zJg2iKGX3lic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Tim Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Thanks for such a quick response guys! Joachim, I tried your suggestion, but to no avail. Gabe, I've uploaded the Publisher file, exported PDF and fonts to Dropbox. Let me know how you get on! We kind of need these fonts to work as lots of our documents, which are being migrated from Indesign, have the Futura font. It's our font of choice 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted May 29, 2020 Staff Share Posted May 29, 2020 We can't replicate the issue with the fonts you have attached. Have you got more version or duplicated fonts installed? Perhaps it's worth uninstalling them and then re-installing them back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Hendriks Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Having the same problem. With the Bernhard Mod BT font. Worked around it by converting the fonts to outlines, and then exporting. But this is far from ideal, since the gradient I used, appeared different after converting the text to outlines (from a gradient over 2 lines to 2 gradients, each line 1 gradient). I had to rebuild that first.
