The monospaced font Notepad and Visual Studio Code use by default on Windows. Visual Studio Code printouts saved with Microsoft Print to PDF often hold it as drawn shapes. MythosPDF turns them back into text in the same look.

How Visual Studio Code prints
- • The Windows default editor font is Consolas, falling back to Courier New.
- • Code prints in one monospaced font where every letter has the same width.
- • Line numbers print only when the print extension adds them.
New letters in Consolas
- • Letters that are already on the page are reused exactly as printed, in the printout's own shapes.
- • Consolas 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.
Questions people ask
+Why can't I select text in my Microsoft Print to PDF file?
The driver often draws every letter as a shape instead of writing text. MythosPDF reads those shapes and turns them back into real text before you edit.
+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.
