Setting importance to 'Low' because there are workarounds: a) rely on cairo's font embedding, or b) convert the text to path using 'Path > Object to Path' prior to saving a copy as PDF.
Removing the manual kerns of the distorted text (menu 'Text > Remove Manual Kerns') does not affect the issue: the text is still distorted when converted to path during PDF export. ** Changed in: inkscape Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: inkscape Status: New => Confirmed -- 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
