Alt Character printing incorrectly to PDF

Wim’s suggestion to use Alt and 0178 works for me however, when I print to PDF the superscript changes to another character - in this case the “less than or equal to” sign. See images below. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

In Rhino…

On the PDF…

I’ve moved this to a new topic…

Hi Brandon -

I can’t reproduce that here.

Could you please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here?

Here you go!

Which PDF printer driver do you use? Results could be different with different drivers

Seems to be present with all drivers. I’m not connected to a printer right now but even when I select my usual printer, in the Rhino print preview the issue is still there.

The print preview doesn’t use the drivers to generate a preview and may not reflect what the driver actually produces. You would have to test a few outputs to see if you get different PDFs. Try Rhino PDF if you haven’t already.

For all of the PDF drivers I did actually test print to a PDF file - still had the issue. I can’t test on the physical printers as they are at the office and well COVID…

Ok, thanks for testing. I logged this as a bug at
