Thanks this is reproduced - however there is a simple workaround for now and that is to select the 'Print as Image' option in the printer dialogue, as you are I believe aware the print system is being re-written for Version 3 and this cannot be corrected until then

Thanks for your patience.
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards

further to John's comments another work around is to use 'Print text as Curves in the Viewer print dialogue --> Print Options --> Advanced [button] --> Print Text as Curves --> Always.

Since this is a work around we will look into improving this without a work around so have created a Support Request Ticket to track the progress of this issue.
