    TBC version 5.8 seems to have a bug when plotting text with a plot box to PDF
    Previous version printed fine. Now, no matter what text style I choose within TBC it always comes out the same badly formatted squashed pixelated text style
    I have tried different pdf printers to test but always the same results

    Yes. This is fixed in a release coming very very soon. Keep your eyes on Check for Updates on the TBC start page next week.

    This issue seems to be with TrueType fonts. Stroke fonts have been working for me i.e. avongrnh.fnt or dim.fnt

    Hi guys,

    See our discussion of 29th & 30th Oct re plotting PDF - its a True Type Font problem - change your styles to Stroke
