[OSM-talk] Osm pdf in Illustrator - fonts issue

[elisabetta ronchi]

Hello everybody!

I'm a graphic designer from Italy. My name is Elisabetta.

I'm quite new with OSM.  It's about two weeks I'm reading your tutorials..

My problem is that I'm trying to edit OSM maps in Adobe Illustrator but I
have problems with fonts.

I know you guys probably don't like Illustrator, but at the moment I have no
choise.

I've tryed many solutions:  rendeing with osmarender and then convert the
svg with Inkscape didn't work.

I find very interesting this way:  export from OSM the Pdf file and open it
in Illustrator (straight, or by converting it in .eps throught A.
Professional before).

The only BIG PROBLEM is that Illustrator opens the font (dejavu Sans) as
outilines, and I really really need to edit the texts in Illustrator (change
color and font...).

I think the problem is the subsetting encode of Cairo pdf:  CID Identity -H

Now....I'm a disaster with computers... but please somebody HELP :)   It's
about one week I'm just trying to solve this problem. I really need to get
the maps fully editable in Illustrator, expecially texts.

It's very important for me.

Thanks a lot for your job.  Please send me a copy of your reply to
elisabetta.ronchi at gmail.com
