2.0.3 on Win 7/10

Never had this problem before with PDF Creator:

1. Open the attached score example (see #2). Create a pdf using the "export" command." Notice that all text is correctly rendered.

2. Now create a pdf with PDF Creator . Note that the FULL STOPS are missing (replaced with question marks).

3. Now delete the text frame and re-render the pdfs. This time PDF Creator render the FULL STOPS correctly.

This issue only affects FULL STOPS which are on the same page as the text-frame.

For the record, use of third party PDF utilities isn't really supported, Between the fact that our fonts are built in and the fact that most this is handled by Qt - leaving it out of our control - means that lots of things can and do go wrong. From what you describe, I'm surprised it actually works as well as it does. Could be a bug in PDF Creator too though.

I don't see any FULL STOPS symbols or words neither in 2.3.1 nor in 3.0. Could you please reopen if it is still the case in 3.0?

"full stop" is another term for "period" - the little dot at the end of a sentence, not the musical term :-)

So I assume he is talking about the period at the end of the first lyric "nice." in the attached score. But since we don't support PDF Creator or any other third party PDF print driver, not sure it's anything to worry about.
