Text is jumping/overalapping after exported to PDF from XD 47

Hi! When I try to export my project to PDF, some of the letters jump around and overlap, and the kerning is completely off. Are there a workaround to this problem? It seems to happen with the font San Francisco specifically. Other fonts exports just fine.

    We are aware of these issues in PDF export. From what I understand, the issue has been fixed in an internal build and should be available in a future update.

    Thanks,

      Hello all.

      I am having this exact issue with SF font not exporting properly into PDF format. The text looks fine in my XD file but when I export, the letters are smashed together or overlapping. I have the most up to date XD, have tried renaming the file as I export and even copying the contents onto a new artboard. However the issue of exporting a PDF from XD is still very buggy. I noticed it does not always do this with every export, but most of my files as of today are exporting not properly. I tried looking around to see if this has been addressed or if there have been any other solutions but have not found any.

      The workaround I have found for now is copying the vector art from XD into Adobe Illustrator and exporting a PDF from that program. It is not the most quick solution but it works.

      I hope this will get addressed again in the near future. SF font is the font used for iOS and the screens we work on are client facing to showcase this. Thank you.
