Print Manual Designer superscript bug

[BertholdL]

The superscript in a PDF export is rendered not high enough.

Compare in H+M:

In a test project it works correctly:

What is wrong there?

My version:
H+M Version 10.1.0 Build 7505
Manual Designer 10.0.0.0

I found the reason and corrected it manually. But I think H+M should do it automatically:

My style Normal is 8 pt (my choice).
H+M made the superscript characters 5 pt.

In the test project the style Normal is 11 pt, the superscript is automatically 7 pt.

Manual solution:
I made the superscript 7 pt instead of 5 pt.
In the editor it looks weird:

But in the exported PDF it looks fine:

@EC Software: Could you please have a look at this function?

Thanks!

Hi Berthold,
We tried to reproduce this problem, but are unable to.
Please first check the PDF reference device in Program Options > PDF Options and try to use a different reference device.
If the problem persists, please email us a small test project, including the output PDF.

Hi Alexander,

I tried your suggestions and sent you a sample project. Hopefully you can reproduce the programme reaction.

Hello to all,

with Alexander's help (thanks!) I was able to reproduce the behaviour and find the reason. This might be of interest to you as well.

My "Normal" style has different font size for screen and print mode. The superscript size depends on the view in the editor I am using at the moment when I format a character as superscript. In case I create the superscript in screen view and afterwards export in a print format (PDF), the superscript will be in the wrong size compared to the font size of "Normal".

Solution: Create a style for the superscript, e.g. "Normal_Superscript" with screen and print font sizes, using the same size H+M would use when formatting a superscript character.
