Pdf Export Changed Fonts on Me

[Rayvfr]

I’ve been using pdf export and it has been exporting using the existing font in my editor, which is exactly what I want. No pandoc…just straight to pdf and works great.

But yesterday, when I exported to pdf, it changed to a completely different font.

I am using minimal theme. Any ideas? Thanks

• macOS: “Print to PDF” will now use Inter by default to fix the issue where copying and pasting text in the generated PDF would appear reversed.

Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68)

And yes, recently updated.

I’m not a technical guy. I read through the posts you recommend. I’m gathering that my OS updated broke this and that there is no fix currently. Correct?

Same for me, recently updated to Ventura and seems to have stopped pdf exporting in my desired font. Would be interested to know if this gets resolved.

I don’t export to PDF from Obsidian, so I am not in a good position to be able to help with a solution. The post linked below offers a way of styling a PDF with a css snippet. My assumption would be that you could use that snippet, changing the font to whatever you choose.

If it doesn’t work, hopefully someone else will be able to offer a solution.

EDIT: In a quick local test, the snippet below does work to change the font used in PDF exports.

Exported PDF on macOS produces backward text with copy+paste

A fix would be nice. This snippet also produces a copyable PDF (tested with the default and Minimal theme). @media print { body { --font-text: 'Inter' !important; } }

Thanks for checking!
I figured it would work, but was taking a PDF vacation

…and with the Minimal and AnuPpuccin themes (the only two I tested), custom Style Settings h1~h6 fonts are respected in the export. Yay!

This works if you use a different theme or one that doesn’t have Style Settings options. Add h2~ as necessary. !important is not an option here.

@media print {
  body {
  --font-text: 'Baoli SC' !important;
  }
  h1 {
  font-family: 'SFMono-Regular' !important;
  }
}

I was being lazy in not testing it before I posted, and then I felt bad about potentially leaving the OP with half an answer and so thought I should give it a whirl. Worked perfectly, of course, in my local test … though we all have so many different setups and parameters that it might (I guess) work a little differently in another user’s vault.

Nice addition with the latest snippet. Will be useful for others. Appreciate the share.

Thank you. I changed the font in the snipped to my preferred font (Charter) and it worked. Best…Ray
