Description Jason Heeris 2009-07-14 07:37:59 UTC

Please describe the problem:
If I create a text object, depending on the font size I set, some of the letters will overlap if I export it as PDF, EPS or SVG.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create the text "Yes" (using Bitstream Vera Sans, 12pt)
2. Create the text "Yes" (using Bitstream Vera Sans, 14pt)
3. Export as PDF


Actual results:
Letters "Y" and "e" of the 14pt text overlap.

Expected results:
They don't.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.
