    Default :: problem with fonts looking 'more bold' even tho they are the same

    Hi all,

    am currently designing a 3 page brochure for pdf distribution. i am using inDesign CS with the latest update

    the problem is that the fonts on page1 look different to pages 2 & 3, even tho they are all Century Gothic regular 8pt and 10pt height spaced with the same aparagraph style and using the same swatch (a darkish gray)... i really cant see why!

    im my opinion the page 1 text looks right - the pages2&3 text looks kind of semi bold if you know what i mean as Century Gothic is a nice clean, fine font

    HELP! this really is supposed to go out tomorrow - eek!

    thanks all

    I don't know if this helps, but we've had problems when distilling documents
    from Quark containing Century Gothic. The font gives an offending command
    and Distiller stops. We've stopped using Century Gothic, replacing it with
    Avant Garde, which is a close equivalent. If you're against deadline you
    might try that.
