How Chrome Save as PDF writes PDFs
- • Chrome writes web fonts as Type3 fonts, often splitting one font into many small ones.
- • Letters are frequently placed one at a time.
- • Bold is sometimes imitated by outlining regular letters.
What that means when you make text bold
- • MythosPDF regroups Chrome's split Type3 fonts into the real typeface and identifies it by its letter widths, so new text matches, imitated bold included.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The real bold style of the same family is used when it exists.
- • If the family has no bold, MythosPDF asks before imitating one.
