Hellodesigners Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Hi, I hope you are doing well, When i export artboard in PDF with the font Montserrat, i get this (screenshot below). It seems that the problem is with the font because with another font it works. How to fix it please? Thanks a lot Quote
walt.farrell Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 What does the original look like in Designer? And what application are you using to view the PDF? What PDF export options did you use?

walt.farrell Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 That all looks good to me. Can you provide a sample .afdesign document that demonstrates the problem?

walt.farrell Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Thanks. Your file works just fine for me. If it fails for you then I agree that perhaps your Montserrat font is broken. I really have no other ideas, but perhaps one of the font experts here will have some other thoughts.

When I export that file using the ‘PDF (for print)’ preset in AD on iPad, the PDF output initially looks correct but closer inspection reveals that the Montserrat text has been converted to curves.

Thanks for pointing that out, but it does not happen for me. It is still standard text as far as I can see. I can copy it, paste it, etc. and the PDF says it has the font in it. samplewf.pdf Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

R C-R Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 FWIW, I only installed the Montserrat-Medium.ttf typeface from Google fonts on my iMac to test with, but with the OP's sample.afdesign I had no problems exporting it to PDF using the "PDF (for print)" or the "PDF (for export) preset. I did not test with any other preset, nor did I install any Montserrat typeface on my iPad to test with that device.

Hellodesigners Posted June 27, 2021 Author Posted June 27, 2021 Thank you very much for your help It is fixed, i delete the Montserrat font from my laptop and download it again. Have a nice day Alfred and walt.farrell 2 Quote
Petr Mk Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Ok, I had a same problem with Monserrat. But with this PDF export setup, my PDFs are already displaying correctly without having to uninstall the font. https://ibb.co/bm7kgFw Quote
