Normal text shows as Bold when saved to PDF

[chriskiehl]

stackedit,

I ran across this tonight. When saving to pdf, a portion of the text ended up bold rather than the normal weight that it was in the editor.

The output PDF is here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61636454/instructions.pdf
(I was trying to teach my not-too-techie boss how to download from github ;)

Below is the markdown from the editor:

INSTRUCTIONS
=========== 

Step 1: 
------ 

Navigate to  http://www.github.com

Step 2: 
------ 

Login with the username and password 

e.g. 

* username 
* \***********

![enter image description here][2]

Step 3: 
-----

Once logged in, you'll be taken to the main github view.  

Here you can see work that's being done on the repo, as well as the repos to which you're a "contributor" (e.g. SyncroWise). 

![enter image description here][3]

Click on the SyncroWise Repository link in the bottom right hand corner of the page

Step 4: 
------

Once inside the repo, look for the `Branch` dropdown button 

![enter image description here][4]

Click on the button, and select `SyncroWise_Release` from the dropdown menu. 

![enter image description here][5]

Step 5:
-------

Once on the `Release` branch, you will be able to see and browse the SyncroWise files. 

To download them, click on the `Download Zip` button in the bottom right-hand corner of the page.

Done! Pick a spot to save the file, then unzip and the latest version of SW is ready to go.

Hi @chriskiehl

I don't see anything bold in the pdf when opened into Chrome. Are you using a specific reader?

[chriskiehl]

I was using Adobe Acrobat Reader. However, upon opening it in Foxit Reader and Chrome (...probably should have tried that before I filed the issue (sorry!)), it looks 100% normal. So, I guess it's just Adobe being crappy.

This is the difference in font weight I was seeing when I open it with Adobe Reader: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61636454/sidebyside.png. Any other pdf viewer and things render fine.
