Word 2016 to pdf - ttf comes out as 72 dpi

Solution 1:

After trying loads of different things converting the fonts to TTF did the trick! I deinstalled the original OTFs, installed the TTFs and then restarted.

There are different services for the conversion online... I used http://otf2ttf.com which worked just fine for me. Opentype features, etc. should still be intact with this, but I had no time to check everything.

Hope that works for you!

It’s really strange that Word is still not fully supporting OTFs on Windows. (I used Word 2016, Win8) The Mac-Version of Word although did export the OTFs just fine, but wasn’t exporting any links within the document :/ - which is apparently a known issue.
