Problem conclusion

  Additional Closure Information:
  .
  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  Font thickness is different when PDF is generated from
  CATDrawing.
  .
  RESTRICTION EXPLANATION:
  The R&D team has analyzed the issue and found that issue is
  not with font thickness but with font height. Font height is
  smaller in PDF created in R20, as compared to R18. This is
  Permanent Restriction in CATIA.
  This is because in R18 text was always discretized. But in
  R20 new highlight was delivered which embeds font in PDF
  file. This was made a default behavior. Thus there is
  difference in R18 and R20 results.
  .
  BY-PASS:
  To have R18 behavior, check 'Discretize all fonts' option in
  PDF properties.
  This option can be found,
  - Tools -> Options -> Compatibility-> Graphic Formats ->
  Export (Save As) ? select PDF and click 'Configuration'
  - For Printing
  Select Discretize all fonts option available in Advanced
  Configuration in Printer properties.
