Font "sliced" after pdf export
DrLudwig3:
Hello Scribus community,
when exporting my document to a pdf file one font I'm using gets "sliced", what I mean with that is that wherever the font crosses itself it's not black as it should be but transparent (see attached screenshots font_pdf_export.png for the broken font). The font I'm using is "Emmylou Signature Bold X Sl". When using print to pdf the font looks correct.
How can I fix the pdf export?
Is there a configuration I have wrong?
I'm working on Windows 10 with the version 1.4.8. Build ID: C-*T-*-C1.8.6-Windows without Ghostscript.
I'm pretty new to scribus and new to this forum, if I can provide any additional information let me know! Any help is appreciated!
Best,
DrLudwig3

I am no expert, but I think I have read somewhere that in a properly designed font the strokes should never cross.
But I may remember completely wrong.

My guess: The font information for display does have a bug, because it prints correctly. Seems this font is rendered on the display as a simple vector graphic, where you get these cutouts.
Maybe you can get a similar and better font at fonts.google.com
toyotadesigner:
Do you use the *.ttf (TrueType) version? It might be that the Open Type version renders bug free.
DrLudwig3:
Hey toyotadesigner,
thanks for your suggestions, I checked and I actually have a *.ttf as well as an *.otf version of the font. When opening both with the default windows font inspection the *.otf does show the issue I have but the *.ttf version doesn't. So I uninstalled the *.otf version and only kept the *.ttf version.
Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue yet, in the generated pdf the font still looks ugly. I'll try restarting my PC
