Hi,
I’ve had an issue for a while now that I’m wondering if anyone can help me with. I have multiple fonts that my company uses for branding, drawing sheets, etc. I’ve installed them to Rhino, and they display correctly in my layouts and files. However, if I try to print in vector mode to PDF (using the ‘Heavy’ or ‘Black’ fonts), it reverts to the ‘Book’ font. Raster printing is fine. I’m not sure why this is. Anyone else have an idea why this would be? Specific font at issue is Avenir.
