New letters in Comic Sans MS

  • • Letters that are already on the page are reused exactly as printed.
  • • Comic Relief is an open font with the same letter widths as Comic Sans MS. For a letter the printout never used, MythosPDF uses the twin when it recognises the face, and otherwise asks before using the closest open font.

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.
