Time signature appears as ê/4 instead of 3/4 on the PDF export

Hello,

What can I do to fix that?

I can send the files in private if needed.

That sounds like a font issue. What OS platform are you on? What font are you using for your time signatures?

Are you using Dorico’s Print > Graphics Export to create the PDF?

Hello benwiggy,

OS: Windows 10 ; Font: Bravura

I was using Print → Printer Export (never had any problem with this one before).
Your suggestion Dorico’s Print > Graphics Export fixed the issue.

Thank you very much!

Just to be sure: did you maybe just upgrade/update Dorico without restarting your PC?

i had a similar discussion on another recent chat. From what i understand, Dorico can export PDF files with the correct fonts embedded so they render as intended on the reading device.
if you (as i have done in the past with other notation software) have a PDF printer-driver installed as part of your OS it may rely on the fonts installed on the reading device unless you have the option to embed these fonts as part of the export process. There are some free options out there allowing you to print any document to PDF (as opposed to a real printer) and this could cause isses.
