      I (still) have issues with pdf export from VS: All text turns into gibberish.

      Only when "Vector Text" is turned on it renders legible, but then text selection in exported pdf is not possible.

      Is there any other way I can solve this?

      I've attached vstyler and pdf-files

        @Raaskot It works here as it should but I don't have the Cachet typeface so
        I changed the font to SF Pro:

        Is the same happening with any font?

        MacBook Pro (Intel) running Monterey 12.6.4

          @Raaskot Could be something to do with the font. I will try to replicate and fix this issue.

            Thanks.

            I have no issues with that particular font elsewhere. I submit a sample from Inkscape.
            The second example is from VS. Titillium font works somehow ok and the Cachet font only partly appears correct.

            The latter example displays a dire overall designproblem I have with VS:
            Typesetting is incredible cumbersome, unpredictable and very unstable. I.e. it seems to be very difficult to change line spacing for the Titillium. Have a look:
            Change leading in VS

            Things done swiftly in other programme takes an eternity in VS. I regret to say VS' type management works utterly strange.

            Kind regards,
            Mikael

              I have to replicate this. The Leading attribute set in the Character panel is applied only to the highlighted characters.
              There is also a leading property in the Paragraph panel for whole paragraphs.
