macOS Mojave update loses Bold typeface #115

Closed purplediane closed 3 years ago

purplediane commented 6 years ago

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to macOS Mojave and now when I run the markdown-to-PDF in Atom, the resultant PDF file does not show bold text where it should be. No error messages appear that I have seen.

I uploaded a few files to https://www.dropbox.com/sh/50i81tavdmtte8m/AACUITgLNlnHLyKjcU-4bvNZa?dl=0 There is a markdown file, original-markdown.md and 2 PDF files. One was generated before my upgrade from OSX El Capitan to Mojave, and the other after the upgrade. The markdown file has not changed. I have Atom 1.31.2, with all my packages up to date. I made no changes to packaging or my css files.

Please let me know if/how I can help you figure this out.

I have a very old iMac that is at macOS High Sierra. I installed Atom and markdown-themable-pdf and it works correctly there. That's a work-around that I can use for now, but would definitely prefer to have it work on my MacBook Pro in Mojave.

Currently I am working on the v2 of the package. Is it possible for you to install it in developer mode? Unfortunately, I'm currently unable to test myself with a Mac. The v2, however, is tested for features regarding Travis.

I would be interested in your results in the v2.

cakebake commented 6 years ago

Because of the v1, it might help you just uninstall and reinstall the package once. Just try it out. It may be that the modules have to be recompiled.

Sorry to take so long to get back to you, my computer went to the mac-hospital for battery replacement. I upgraded everything (atom and some other packages), uninstalled the markdown-themable-pdf plugin, restarted Atom and re-installed markdown-themable-pdf, and unfortunately am having the same problem. It does not do bold anywhere, not even in the headers. The fonts otherwise look correct.

My Atom is now 1.32.0 version. I will try to take a look at this later this week and perhaps try the developer mode.

I forgot to say that italic works. Go figure.

I also forgot to say how much I love this package. I use it for lots of things, but especially for handouts for my students.

I'm having the same problem. Anyone figured out a solution?

I'm having the same problem. Anyone figured out a solution?

I thought I might try to install the development mode and poke around a bit, but I have not had time to do that and doubt it will happen in the near future.

I am lucky that I have another very old Mac with High Sierra (too old for Mojave) and I put my markdown files into dropbox and convert them there, then bring them over. I admit this is not a good solution at all, but it is a workaround that I can use for now, though it doesn't help other people.

There are other ways to convert markdown to pdf, but none of them (that I've found) have the capability of a header/footer (among other things). There is another ATOM markdown to pdf package (maybe more than one), but it is not as good, IMO.

Hi,

Just a quick update on this. I could not install V2 (I don't know how to do it, sorry), but I have noticed that the font-weight does not work as well. Even importing fonts and setting the weight in the CSS, that is skipped during the PDF creation.

Hope this help

same problem here :-/ also on os x mojave and a fresh install of atom and the plugin.

Hi, the issue is still present... any plans to fix it? FYI - it looks like the issue is caused by the use of html-pdf. There was a similar problem reported for mdpdf: https://github.com/BlueHatbRit/mdpdf/issues/59

They solved it in version 2.0.0, and as can be seen in their release notes, they solved it by getting rid of html-pdf: https://github.com/BlueHatbRit/mdpdf/releases/tag/2.0.0

Hi @cakebake, I can confirm that with v2 bold text appears correctly.

However, both generation and preview are much much slower, and more resource-heavy. I find the html headers easier to use.

Hello, sorry, but I will no longer maintain the project.

This project is archived because the owner no longer uses the Atom Editor.

It would be very good to find a new owner for this project, who will take care of updating and expanding the Atom package. A new version based on Chrome Headless has already been prepared in a feature branch.
