Mr Lucky Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I have exported a PDF from mac pages. I then import to Designer, and there is no font warning when opening, and everything looks fine apart from a couple of things: An icon using Font Awesome imports as the wrong icon. It was a star instead of a mortar board, although when I tested a second time it is an exclamation mark. The page numbers are totally screwed as they have a chevron (or exclamation mark) superimposed over the first character The chevrons (or exclamation marks) also show up randomly before and after some images. I am only using helvetica, Arial and Font awspome (which is installed on my computer) Does anyone know what is causing this and if there is a fix? I have attached my test PDF. Thanks test.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted September 26, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi Mr Lucky, I'm getting some strange results when I install Font Awesome and export form Pages and then import that into Designer. The font symbols can be used in Designer by copying the symbol from the cheat sheet and then pasting in and switching the font over. Would it be possible for you to link me to your Pages file, so I can do some further testing? Regards L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Lee D Posted September 26, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks for the file, The issue relates to font mapping and the issue won't be resolved until we fully support PDF embedded fonts but we don't have any eta on when this will be done.
