Character spacing (kerning) inconsistent in PDF / Print output

Scrivener on Linux is a mix of pros and cons. It obviously runs better in its native environment, and a few things don’t work well that some might consider essential, but on the other hand everything around Scrivener isn’t Windows… so there’s that. :laughing:

Still… You can see the drunk typesetting problem persists even with Calibri (between the ‘k’ and ‘e’ in ‘backed’). It would be good to know the bug was flagged for a developer.

There’s not much they can do about it regrettably. You could try adjusting the PDF output settings in the Editor: Options tab, File ▸ Options.... As I understand it, they have provided us with all of the tools they have available themselves, for tinkering with the quality of the text output for PDF in those settings.
