New letters in Times New Roman

  • • Times New Roman is usually recognised automatically: MythosPDF keeps Liberation Serif, 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 Serif, so they match Times New Roman in width.
  • • Letters that are already on the page are reused exactly as printed.

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.
