Re: [libreoffice-users] PDF Export - Italics Not Exporting

The error occurs during the export process, so I have to assume the finished product will appear 
the same (there truly are no italics in the resulting PDF document).

I'll do some experimenting later today, between clients.  I finally just printed the document, then 
scanned it -- it's the agenda for a meeting tonight and I had to get it out to everybody!
