Here's what the PDF result looks like

[pbek]

I cannot reproduce that. Can you please also provide the note text.

[CharlesCage]

Sample of note text:

2020-05-14 Web History
======================

# Video Ideas

## Information to Convey

### What information are we talking about?

* Web history
* What web pages you visit and when

### Who collects it and how?

* This data is commonly collected by Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
    * Like AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, etc.
* They collect the information from two sources
    * Domain Name Service (DNS)

[CharlesCage]

Created a new one with same effect so I can provide full files:

The Note MD file

The Exported PDF

What it looks like in App w/Preview

[pbek]

That what my PDF looks like:

[pbek]

I tried various settings but wasn't able to break my pdf export.

[CharlesCage]

Wow, that's exactly what I expect. Hm. Could this be a config issue? Like maybe I selected some fonts badly or something along those lines?

[pbek]

Can you please try again in a fresh session of QON (your old session will not be touched). See "tip" at https://docs.qownnotes.org/en/latest/getting-started/cli-parameters/

[CharlesCage]

Ok, did this and it looks fine when run from a clean session. I guess I must've mis-configured something. Looking for it.

Edit 1: Reset fonts to same in Interface/Editor/Preview and matched checkboxes. Still same result.

Edit 2: My Editor fonts & colors ini file export

[pbek]

Still same result.

What same result? A broken pdf or a correct one? Could you trace what setting broke the PDF?

[CharlesCage]

The broken one, sadly. :/

I haven't been able to trace the setting. I'm walking through them and trying them all. Did include my ini above in case you happen to see anything. The obvious ones (fonts/sizes) didn't change anything.

[CharlesCage]

Ok, so I restarted with --session temp and exported the stock light fonts and colors set to Light.ini, then diff'd it with my Dark.ini.

I have the full diff, but the only font-related entries were this:

> FontSizeAdaption_15=100
71a74
> FontSizeAdaption_8=100
108c111

But replacing it in Dark.ini and re-importing, re-starting didn't fix the issue. Still trying.

[CharlesCage]

I did a diff of settings exports, and all I find font-related is this:

< noteTextEdit.code.font="IBM 3270 Semi-Narrow,8,-1,5,57,0,0,0,0,0,Medium"
< noteTextEdit.font="Hack,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0,Regular"
< noteTextView.code.font="Courier New,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0,Regular"
< noteTextView.font="MS Shell Dlg 2,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0,Regular"
> noteTextEdit.code.font="Courier New,9,-1,2,50,0,0,0,0,0"
> noteTextEdit.font="MS Shell Dlg 2,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"
> noteTextView.code.font="Courier New,9,-1,2,50,0,0,0,0,0"
> noteTextView.font="MS Shell Dlg 2,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

[pbek]

I really wonder what setting makes it break...

[pbek]

Any news on this issue, @CharlesCage? :grin:
