Hello,<br>
<br>
We are running Scribus 1.4.5 and we experience a problem when we export<br>
in PDF. The "l" letter always appears in extra-bold when we use acrobat<br>
reader to view the pdf file.<br>
<br>
Would you know how to fix this?<br>
Many thanks.<br>
<br>
Catherine<br>

Zoom further in and recheck. I suspect you are experiencing side effect of<br>
font outlining. Try printing document and, if I am right, observe the<br>
problem disappears. In that case, embed fonts instead of outlining them.<br>
You can set that option in PDF export dialog.<br>
<br>

To clarify what Vladimir means: Font hinting is most likely lost during the<br>
process of outlining. Font hinting is what is used to make a font appear<br>
well even though the resolution of the screen is to low.<br>
