Re: Corbel Font Corruption?
Thank you to those of you who responded privately. After much troubleshooting, thinking (and it probably still is) it is an Adobe PDF driver issue (weird font spacing occurs when the Adobe PDF driver issue is set as the default in FM), it turns out that clearing the Pair Kern check box in Paragraph Designer resolved the weird Corbel font spacing issue.

Corbel Font Corruption?
We are using Corbel font in FM9 on Windows XP. We've encountered issues where there appears to be "an extra" space in the font whenever there is an "i" after the letter "d" or some other letter which is followed by the letter "i". This only occurs on generated PDFs and sometimes in the printed output. Sometimes, it does not occur initially, visibly, on screen in the FM file, but it may appear visibly after a PDF is generated. The following are examples: "Radio" looks like "Rad io" "Heading" looks like "Head ing" "Edited" looks like "Ed ited" "Installing" looks like "Install ing" Has anyone experienced this?
