Good afternoon (UK time) to all!
My first post to this forum - although I've been using Inkscape for a while I can't claim in-depth knowledge, so please bear with me if his is a very simple problem.
First things first : I'm using Inkscape 0.92 on a Windows 10 laptop (version 1803 build 17134.228).
The problem, briefly, is that when I enter text in Calibri 12.5pt, certain letters (t, f, i) merge together and appear as a single character on the screen. When saved as WMF format and loaded into Word 2007 they appear distorted, with both letters displayed but the second one displaced to the right. The attached screen grabs will hopefully make this clearer - the first instance is from Inkscape and the second from Word. The letters concerned are the 'ff' in 'different' and the 'ti' in 'stations'.
The first thought is to use another font, of course, with Arial being a fairly obvious choice. Unfortunately the destination for my drawings is a publication over whose standards and production process I have no control. The font standard is Calibri 12.5 and the process is Inkscape - WMF - Word - PDF. Additionally, for some reason this process doesn't render lower case 'l' (L) correctly.
I've done a lot of experiments and a lot of searches but so far haven't come up with a viable solution that isn't ridiculously time consuming. Any help you wonderful people can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Dave
