New letters in Book Antiqua

  • • Letters that are already on the page are reused exactly as printed, in the printout's own shapes.
  • • Book Antiqua is not an open font. For a letter the printout never used, MythosPDF asks before using the closest open font and tells you which one.

What that means when you change the year

  • • Letters you type that already appear in the printout, in the same font, are copied from its own letter shapes, so they print identically.
  • • Digits are recovered like letters, so a changed number keeps the printed digit shapes and spacing.
  • • After export, the recovered text can be selected, copied and searched, which the printout could not do.

Questions people ask

+Is there a find and replace?

Not yet. Edit each occurrence; each keeps its own layout exactly.

+Will the page look different after recovery?

No. The rebuilt text uses the document's own letter outlines, and every page is compared with the original before you edit.
