Thank you for your thoughts, but do you really think a font cache is the issue?
I have two computers in my office having this issue, and about a dozen Macs
at my client's location -- that we know of so far! If it were a font issue,
do you think one print method would be successful, and another wouldn't? If
the font table was messed up, I would think it would be wacked for all methods.
No?
I could be wrong (I'm wrong all the time!) but, I think it's something in LC's
internal PDF handling, or some property I need to set or reset.

Subject: PDF Printing
I am getting different results using "open printing to pdf" vs standard
printing to a printer. I have a card with a single field on it with some
formatted text in it. If I print the card to a printer using "open
printing with dialog" it all looks perfect (even if I choose to save it to
PDF in the print dialog). But, if I use the "open printing to pdf" method,
it get wrong fonts and inconsistent tab spacings. Here is the EXACT code I
am using:
on mouseUp currSName
put (the hilite of btn "printAsPDF" of stack "ReportOptions") into
printAsPDF
if printAsPDF then
ask file "Save As PDF:" with (currSName & ".pdf")
put it into pdfPath
open printing to pdf pdfPath
else
open printing with dialog
end if
if the result is "Cancel" then
exit mouseUp
end if
print card 1 of stack "GB_PReport"
close printing
end mouseUp
Here are examples of the printouts (the PDFs):

Any thoughts or ideas?
