Anyway, this email got longer as I continued to investigate. All I really
want is to figure out a way to get my nice right-aligned text right. Is it
perhaps possibly that if I started with a different font or font size, it
would render the same way in the PDF as it does on screen?
Assuming you are doing this on macOS (which I'm guessing you are, given
preview could generate PDFs!).
Does the stack you are printing have fonts explicitly set on the fields or at
the stack level? If not that could be the issue...
At least for the pdf printer, the default macOS font is some sort of strange
font which doesn't have a proper name (.blahblahblah) and appears not to like
being poked in the way needed to print. If you set the textFont of the field/
stack to a font name (i.e. non-empty, and one which exists) your formatting
problems might go away.
Failing that - if you submit a bug report with the offending stack, we can
take a look.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
