New letters in Arial Narrow
- • Letters that are already on the page are reused exactly as printed, in the printout's own shapes.
- • Arial Narrow 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 make text bold
- • Bold uses the printout's own bold letters when the page has them; otherwise MythosPDF asks before imitating bold.
- • After export, the recovered text can be selected, copied and searched, which the printout could not do.

Questions people ask
+Is the bold the real font?
Yes, when the family has a bold style. Otherwise you choose whether to imitate it.
+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.
