PDF printing problem with Oswald font (PGD 15.1, Win10)

[Jonopen]

When exporting as a 'High Quality' PDF the text in the Google font Oswald SemiBold has some extra extraneous lines and blobs showing on some letters.

I've PDF'd same text and font from Affinity Designer and Inkscape with no problems.

File a support ticket. That is not right.

Thanks Gary, that's what I thought!

I did try the PDF export option 'Convert text into shapes' which worked ok, but the document I want to export will be quite text heavy and better as text.

The other thing I tried was to convert just the Oswald font text to editable shapes before exporting, and that also works ok, but again not what I really want to do.

Some Google fonts are better than others. Google apparently does not care about quality that much. But converting problem fonts to editable shapes is always a workaround. But keep the original file in case you need to edit the text.

I also was thinking it's a quality issue and the font was probably designed mainly for on screen viewing. Nevertheless other apps do manage to PDF it ok.

Ive raised a Magix support ticket and will report back.
