​

Export - Font management
​
There is now a collapsible tab "Font Management" in the Export dialog. To manage TrueType fonts from the drawings, in Font management, specify the options:
​
- Embed True Type fonts used in the drawing:

Captures True Type fonts used in the drawing's annotations and includes them in the PDF file. When viewing the PDF file, the fonts are read directly from the PDF file and the PDF viewer should not substitute them. This option increases the PDF file size.

Exceptions:

Fonts that are not TrueType fonts

Vertical Asian fonts
​
- Optimized:
Specifies whether to use True Type font-related optimization when creating the PDF file. This may influence the output performance, but reduces the file size.

- Convert all True Type texts used in the drawing:
Lets you convert all text to geometry during the export to PDF file when you cannot include your TrueType fonts in the PDF file. The text in the PDF file is identical to the text on the drawing.
​
- SHX text as geometry:
Lets you convert SHX fonts to geometry. Thus, annotations that use SHX fonts are represented using geometric entities, such as lines and arcs. Otherwise, the SHX-based annotations appear as text lines in the PDF file using a corresponding or similar TrueType font, which lets you select annotations in the PDF file as text objects.

The shape fonts are always printed as geometry regardless of the selection made.
