I'm trying to give precise spacing to some mtexts but I have the problem that after PDF print the spacing changes.
In the image below you can see three screenshots: in the upper part the model screen, in the center the print preview and below the pdf.
Anybody know a solution?

If you plot in the background try to plot in the foreground instead and see if it makes any difference.

You probably have several options for what "printer" to use for a PDF output. Have you tried different choices?

Ok, I attached DWG, PDF and the font. To print I used DWG To PDF.pc3.
Thank you for the files: your DWG file opened here looks like your PDF. What's missing from the file you posted compared to the earlier screenshots?
And are you aware every recipient of your PDF that does not have your font installed on their PC or MAC will never see the font in this style either? As long as you embed fonts into your PDFs anyway.

Yes I tried all but the problem is always the same. I also printed with the Hp Desingjet and it's perfect.

In my AutoCAD the text it's inside the rectangle:
Why this difference from your? Do you installed my font?

If I remove the character spacing on the string, it plots the same as it looks on screen.

You are right, but in this job I need to maintain the spacing I selected to fill the text inside a square.

Still doesn't explain why we can't see what you see in AutoCAD.
Also:
1) why is COLUMNS>DYNAMIC in use in your one-word MTEXT?
2) Why a set width?
3) what is your custom CTB file adding to the plotting?
4) If you are plotting from modelspace (that's what your PDF says), why is there no saved printer? No scale? wrong page size (portrait is saved, you created landscape PDF)
5) what is this setting for if I may ask? It does not seem to do much
if I adjust your TEXT to fix the rectangle
Then PLOT with these choices
I seem to get a PDF that completely matches the DWG

Hi @tonytwok and @pendean , sorry for the confusion.
The issue is reproducible in AutoCAD 2025 for TrueType Text but not in AutoCAD 2024.
The workaround is to switch to "Intermediate Mode" for 2D Display settings in GRAPHICSCONFIG dialog.
Perhaps you should be running this in 2025 then to figure out what else your system may be needing in display/video card help

Fair enough. I was just pointing out that there is a bug at play here. Not sure whose bug it is, but nevertheless.
