Re: [Gramps-users] PDF Text Report Font Issue

[Benny M. <ben...@gm...>]

John,

More and more Mac users it seems. Pdf created via cairodoc seem to be
non-searchable with adobe reader on Mac. No idea what can be the reason, on
linux, they are searchable with evince or okular.
Doug L., please create a bug ticket on the bug tracker,
http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs, and post the link here
