When creating a PDF from an Abiword document, italicized text is sometimes converted to Roman and/or garbled when viewing the resultant PDF. This happens whether the PDF is created via "save as" or via "print".
This happens with some fonts and not with others.
Georgia: pdf okay
DejaVu Sans: italicization lost in PDF, text not garbled
FreeSans: italicization lost and text garbled in PDF
TimesNewRoman: PDF okay
Impact: italicization lost, text not garbled
Trebuchet: PDF okay
Andale Mono: italicization lost
Arial: okay
Bitstream Charter: okay
Bitstream Vera Sans: italicization lost
Bitstream Vera Serif: italicization lost
Comic Sans: italicization lost
At first I thought the key element was whether the typeface selected had a true italic font installed but that's not true: FreeSans has an italic version.
It is important to note that the screen display from Abiword is, in all cases, properly formatted, with faked italics (slanted) versions where there is no true italics or oblique version of the typeface installed, for example with Imapct.
The attachment shows the result with FreeSans. |

Addition: this may be a problem in a library used by Abiword to generate PDFs, or in the Abiword invocation of such a library. |
