PDF Export: convert Text into Shapes - WRONG TEXT CONVERSION !!

[antimix]

Hello,

I was preparing the PDF output for the external printer company, following his rules about the PDF format: CMYK , PDF/X-3:2002, no layers, NO FONTS EMBEDDING, and TEXT to Curves.

So I simply selected Export PDF, Commercial printing, format "PDF/X-3:2002", flagged "Convert text into shapes" in the PDF export dialog in Xara Designer Pro 6 and exported the brochure.

Surprise: the lowercase L are randomly bigger size, and create horrible text looking.
See the screen capture of the Adobe Reader at different sizes of ZOOM.
At the bigger zoom it is clear that "l" are different sized....

The font is simple ARIAL, nothing special.



- WHAT TO DO ??

Regards.
