Hello,

I’m having an issue with overlapping letters. This only occurs when I save the font as a PDF. Is there an easy solution to this? I understand this could be an Adobe issue but I’m wondering if there is a setting in Glyphs that I am unaware of.

I’ll attach an image below for reference.

Thank you.

Please check the path directions in all glyphs.

1. Select all glyphs in Font View (Cmd-Opt-1)
2. _Paths \> Correct Path Direction_ (Cmd-Shift-R)
