Re: Missing text when printing FOP 2.1 PDF documents in Mac OSX's Preview App

Hi Tobias,

My guess would be for the font itself…
Maybe try to create a document with this font manually (InDesign) and try to reproduce the issue.

I printed on OS X 10.10
- Apple Preview: missing text
- Acrobat Pro DC: OK

So it’s a clear Apple Preview issue.
Maybe changing the font is the quickest solution?

lg,
Frank
