Hi Bentley,
I've set up gINT to produce borehole logs using the Roboto font. It works well on my machine, as shown (clipped from a PDF):
However, other machines in this office (with Roboto installed, with the same gINT license/everything as I have) are generating PDF logs that look like this:
The overwrite booboo is due to gINT converting Roboto to Arial. Further checking shows that this happens to all my Roboto font text on every page. Yet, if those machines preview the log, it shows up fine! So the error must be in the PDF writer? But the PDF printer is the same too!
Things I've tried include:
- reinstalling the font, ensure that the font is downloaded and installed directly to the local appdata folder under /user/
- setting default font in gINT to Roboto
- checked that the PDF driver is the same (it is!)
Does anyone have experience fixing this issue?

Hi Michael,
How are you creating the PDF?
The most reliable way is to click the PDF button or use the "Export to File" option and then Export to PDF.
If you Print to PDF, you may get inconsistent results.

Hi Jesse, thanks for replying. Yup, I'm already doing the Export to File PDF as you describe above. Any other ideas?
Hmm, I am not sure...
The only thing that stands out to me is you mentioned you had the fonts "installed directly to the local appdata folder under /user/".
Have you tried installing the fonts under the Control Panel? I believe you then should see (and want to see) the Roboto font under C:\Windows\Fonts.
Great idea. I tried installing them all the ways in that link...didn't work! It's really peculiar because a) this problem only affects some machines, and b) it works in preview, but then gets mangled in the PDF.
I don't understand.
Sorry, I am not sure then.
Anyone else have any ideas?
