Reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.2 and 0.48+devel r10811 on OS X 10.7.2 Lion when converting text to path, Not reproduced with eithr version when keeping text as text (default setting).
Possibly an issue with that specific font ('Ubuntu-title'). Any special reason to convert the text to path when saving a copy as PFD? Since version 0.47, Inkscape does _always_ embed and subset the fonts when saving a copy as PDF/PS/EPS (rather, the cairo library used for this does it) - the resulting PDF files can be viewed on any system without requiring the fonts used in the PDF file to be installed on that system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910282 Title: pdf export distorts text To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/910282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
