Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Draw changes font when opening pdf text file.

If the original PDF has been generated by a software which does not
provide the option of embedding fonts (as requested from the standard
format), or the user has not activated font embedding, there is not a
solution, and the issue is not LibreOffice but the PDF which has not
been generated properly.

LibreOffice does its best with the fonts installed on the system.

Of course, if you happen to know which is the original font used to
produce the PDF you can install that font - if free - and see if this
solves the issue.

Best regards.
