Text Formatting ⇒ Text formatting changes automatically

[jafo11]

Hello together,

I'm new to this forum and I have a tricky problem with my document:
After the first section the text formatting changes, it looks like the text became bold. First I thought it was because of the \newpage directive, but I included some \newpage directives before, but the formatting was the same.
Thats the structure:

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
\section{Abschnitt1}
text1
\newpage
text2
\newpage
--> Thats the point where the formatting changes, if I leave out the \newpage OR the \sectionm{} the formatting is correct
\section{Abschnitt2} 
text3

\end{document}

I hope you can help me to find a solution, because I did a lot of research and didnt find anything. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

Did you check how it looks printed on paper? I guess it's a pdf reader issue. You could also try with a different pdf viewer.

There's a known issue with the adobe reader, regarding font display changing to bold. Have a look here:

• Some Pages appear to have a different Formatting in Win/Mac
• text is changing to bold inexplicably
• Pages with figures are bold

The last post shows a solution for the case that transparent PNG images would cause this.

Hi jafo11.

If it is a previewer problem, as Stefan suggests, I can recommend Foxit Reader for Windows or Evince for Linux. (I have no experience with Mac.) Bort are great alternatives to Adobe Reader.
