Font display issue Revit 2016 in plotted pdf file (Calibri true type font))

[Anonymous]

Attached is a snip from a PDF file. The file displays properly in Revit and in the preview pane when plotting. But the PDF file displays something different. It is only on this project and has never happened before. It is also intermitten where some are displayed fine and some are not. Deleting them and putting them back does nothing. If it was anything but a corrupt file it would be consistant, not happening on some of the dimension strings (only vertical ones seem to be affected). They are all the same style and same dimension type family and this has only happened on plan views of this project.

Hi @Anonymous

Please check if you have the latest updates for Revit 2016 and the service pack 2 which addresses issues reported.

Can you try this for me? Please export to DWF and print to PDF and see if the font prints correctly.

Also, are you using remote desktop to access Revit?

Which version of windows are you using? If it is windows 7 and if you've had a recent update from Microsoft than the Microsoft Hotfix Link can help resolve this issue.

The PDF file seems to be the only one affected. The PDF file with the disturbing looking text font, prints exactly how it is supposed to print. I assumed it was going to print exactly how the PDF file looked, but that wasn’t the case. I sent the PDF file to the plotter and to my surprise it came out perfect. It’s probably a Windows 10 bug or a driver issue between BLUEBEAM & Windows. Due to the fact that the print comes out fine a solution will have to be put on the back-burner until I have a little time to experiment. Thanks
