Letters Skew Incorrectly and Fill Partially Disappears When Saving PSD as PDF

[#1]

I'm using two angled, colored texts on a poster, and everytime I save it as PDF, part of the lettering clears out, as if it was a negative space with a skewed colored layer underneath - this is due to the letters' alignment skewing.  Just cost me $19 for a misprint.  My interim solution was to save as a PNG, then convert that to a PDF (drastically canvas size).  Screenshots attached.  Settings below.

Is this visible onscreen or only at print?

Working on a copy, convert the live text to a vector shape, is the issue still visible?

Hello, I also see that the text is not angled properly.

Same question: did you check the PDF before sending it to print?

To avoid font issues, some convert a copy of the text to outlines, that way, it stays in vector, but will not get font substitutions, etc.

Was the printer a postscript printer?

Thanks for the feedback, guys.  I copied / rasterized / merged the text layers and everything works now.  I've never had that issue with fonts, but I typically output to PNG or JPEG.

As far as the printing goes, the PDF I supplied to the printer was hosed, and I didn't check it since the PSD looked fine and I was in a hurry to get ten different things off to the printer (obviously my fault).

Could you share the PSD and resulting PSD as well as Galvji Bold Oblique for us to troubleshoot? Looks like Americane Condensed is an Adobe font. Post a URL to the files using CC files or dropbox, or something similar to share it.
