max1josef Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 In an embeddedd PDF the font "Swiss721BT-Roman" is used, which is not installed on my system (Windows 10). So I tried to assign a substition font by means of font manager. But in the font manager the missing font is not listed, so I don't know how to do this. Just in case that there is a quick and simple solution. If not, I'll wait for upcoming version 1.9 and then use PDF pass-through-mode. Quote
walt.farrell Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 In 1.8: I think you would need to double-click on the file (or on its layer in the Layers panel) or choose Edit Document from the Context Toolbar. Then do your font substitution in there and then close the editing tab. It will be improved in 1.9. For example, in the 1.9 beta you can use PassThrough for embedded PDF files and you won't need to worry about having the fonts installed.

But regardless which substition I choose, it always falls back to TimesNewRoman. 1 hour ago, walt.farrell said: It will be improved in 1.9.

As a workaround, I create my document in 1.8 and only for PDF export I open it in 1.9 beta. Quote
