    Default Re: Xara Xtreme verison 4

    It looks really good. PDF export looks to give much smaller file sizes, which is really good.

    Can I be the first to report an apparent bug?

    Put some text on a blank page, make it Times New Roman Font. Export that page to PDF (small size, V5 ) embed the font then look at the resulting PDF.

    On my PC the PDF shows as completely different text (gobble degook) to the original. Is it just me?

    Colin, I can't repeat that bug. My PDF export works fine, plain page with a small amount of Times New Roman text, whether the font is embedded or not (actually I don't think you can embed Times as it's a guaranteed built-in font).

    Let me know you exact settings - what page template, what PDF settings exactly?

    I've attached a sample xar file with some text in both Arial and Times New Roman, also the generated PDF. All the text has gone strange when I view the PDF. Is it just me? Viewer is Adobe Read V8.

    Looks fine here in Adobe Reader 8.1.2

    Tested here in Adobe 7.0 under linux and I don't see text, I see two bitmaps that show the various options you used, and the text appears as all circles.

    I got an error message like so:

    This signature would be seven words long if it was six words shorter.

    First check you have all the standard WindowsXP fonts installed. If not, you can reinstall them from the XP CD
