New letters in Courier New

  • • Courier New is usually recognised automatically: MythosPDF keeps Liberation Mono, the open font with identical letter widths, on its servers and matches the printed shapes against it.
  • • Letters you type that the printout never used are set in Liberation Mono, so they match Courier New in width.
  • • Letters that are already on the page are reused exactly as printed.

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.
