PDF Kerning issue in titles on Mac
Hi,
I use the latest version of Calibre to convert ePubs I author to mobi and pdf. With pdfs there are kerning issues in the titles.(Image attached) I do not see this artifacting when using software such as Clearview to produce pdfs so I don't think the issue is in macOS. I've seen this same issue for years but readers have begun to complain. Any suggestions on what I can do to mitigate this? I see that this is a long-standing Calibre issue but none of the suggestions for what we can do seem to apply or work for me. Thank you, Daniel |

Thank you,
The problem could be "Failed to find fonts for family..." with several listed. I apologize if this is a simple question - but what is your suggested work-around (these include Avenir-Light and Menlo which are being found and used in the epub itself and when I use other software to convert this document - which I created). If necessary, I can use other fonts for the pdf - do you have a list of supported fonts? The font section in the manual covers size but I didn't see font families. My source document is an ePub with a CSS that defines the fonts Thank you Daniel |

There should be no problem with those fonts. I need the epub file and the font files to try to reproduce the issue in order to tell you more.

Thank you - that's what I thought. How would you like me to send them to you (and thank you so much for your support)
