Created attachment 119623 [details] font problem example Hi. I downloaded a free ODF font called Trench and I formatted the text so only its outline would be visible. When I convert the file to .pdf, the text form changes, the distances between the characters "perimeter" become the same. See the file to see what I mean, please. Thanks.
Please attach a file with the font and the font (if it's free and under a license that you can share it). Also the related PDF would be good. Marking as NEEDINFO - once attached please mark as UNCONFIRMED. Thanks
Created attachment 119626 [details] here is the formatted text
Created attachment 119627 [details] the distorted text in .pdf
this is the link to the free font: http://www.1001fonts.com/trench-font.html#license
> the distorted text in .pdf Er, actually what’s distorted here is not the PDF’s output, which shows the correct font forms (i.e., it displays as the font was drawn).
...???... At least in MY screen, I see the font is the same, but the characters are diferent than in the virtual writing sheet: in the .pdf file, the inner distance between the characters outline is always the same, while in the .odf file, there are "wider" parts of the characters, and "thinner" ones, and that's the idea. The .pdf file "erases" the characters' outline "configuration" and keeps it "straight standard". It eliminates the character "style".
I guess Adolfo was responding to how you described the attachment: "the distorted text in .pdf", while a more appropriate wording would have been "text looks ok in pdf export" or something like that. It doesn't matter, if the text has an outline character formatting. Win 7 Pro 64-bit, Version: 5.0.2.2 (x64) Build ID: 37b43f919e4de5eeaca9b9755ed688758a8251fe Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI)
In my computer, trench is shown ok in Write, but gets all thin in .pdf...
(In reply to jlbraga from comment #8) > In my computer, trench is shown ok in Write, but gets all thin in .pdf... The thin form is correct, compare to 1001fonts.

This is essentially a Windows bug. The font sets OS/2.usWeightClass to 100, and Windows (at least GDI) is known to embolden any font with usWeightClass less than 250. So GDI is emboldening the font, together with the way we draw outlined text in GUI this gives the distorted outlines. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/os2#usweightclass https://typedrawers.com/discussion/comment/20149/#Comment_20149 PDF does not suffer from the emboldening issue and the outlined text is also handled slightly differently (that is why it appears thinner).
