ray223 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Hi, Really weird problem, when I have "Arial Bold" text in an Affinity Designer document and I export to PDF the text in the resulting PDF document is all changed to random characters. I have 3 copies of AD on 3 Windows 10 PC's and the same problem happens on 2 but works fine on the other. I tried installing the Arial fonts from the computer that works to 1 of the computers that fails but that didn't help. See sample AD and output pdf attached. Any help much appreciated. Thanks, Ray untitled.afdesign untitled.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 All of your embedded fonts in the document are TrueType fonts, except for the faulty Arial-BoldMT, which is Type 1. Why is only this font Type 1?

Staff stokerg Posted August 22, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 22, 2019 Hi ray223, This has export to PDF fine for myself on both Mac and Windows. So it will be something to do with the copy of the font you have. I'd suggest deleting it and reinstalling a fresh copy and it should be fine then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray223 Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Thanks so much, it was actually substituting an Arial BoldMT font for some reason. Even though in AD I just selected Arial Bold as normal. Deleted old font and now all working correctly. Thanks so much Joachim_L and stokerg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
