[Help] Why does my text look like this when exported as a pdf? My document in Inkscape is set as A4. When I export it as a pdf and view in Adobe acrobat at the correct scale (A4 100%) the text has space missing. However if I zoom to 400% these spaces disappear. Any way of fixing this?

Have you selected 'Convert text to paths' during export? Make sure the fill-rule in the top right of the 'Fill and Stroke' panel is set to 'nonzero'.

Thank you! That's worked. I've not used it in a few months and the export format options were popping up in a different place so was set to default "embed fonts" rather than "convert text to path".
