Hi Eric,

You need to try to install Update 2:
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt-for-mac/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autocad-lt-2016-for-mac-update-3.html?v=2016
And than Update 3:
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt-for-mac/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autocad-lt-2016-for-mac-update-3.html?v=2016

They should resolve text handling issues.

What if you will try to set system variable USEQUARTZFONT=0 when you print (save to PDF) the drawing with logo? This should force AutoCAD to outline TTF fonts when saving to PDF. Maybe the results would be better.
