Issues with MText in different colours

[GGuzzler]

Hi all,

 

Having an issue that started recently where text pasted in from MS word looks fine in Paper space but then once printed to PDF, formats strangely.

Please see screenshots attached.

Any ideas much appreciated!

What does a Print Preview look like and one printed to paper look like?

 

What are you using to plot to PDF?

 

Computer Specifications?

 

No issues here on Pdf.

Lenovo Yoga laptop, will check specs later.

 

Print preview looks normal, then printing via DWG to PDF.pc3 causes the issue. Have tried reinstalling using pc3 in UserDataCache but without any change to result.

 

Lato Regular is the font where I have the issue. Annoyingly this problem has only just started happening within the last couple of months.

What do your PDF options look like?

 

What do your plot settings look like?

 

Windows version? 

 

Are you using AutoCAD LT 2014?

PDF options: please see snapshot.

Windows 11 Home - 10.0.26200

Nope, AutoCAD LT 2025.

Do you have the latest LT 2025 updates installed?

Since you do have the latest updates installed, here are some additional questions:

1) Any difference if the text is in model?

2) Does the same problem occur if you created the text using Lato Regular in LT and not copied it from Word?

3) What happens when you change the pasted text to Arial ttf or to Romans shx?

4) Have you tried installing LT 2026 side by side without migrating settings from LT 2025 to see if the same problem still occurs?
