Hi
I made PHP program that generates PDF files with some Panel that Laser need to cut. All have to be in curves. I use SVG for pictures. SVG works fine. But there is a problem with converting text to curves on PDF import. Text is a mess.
Here is PDF file: http://panel.ampio.com.pl/composer_stuff/zamowienia/grawer/grawer-50.pdf
If You open it as Text, it works, but if You try to open it as Curves every text is a mess.
I dont think its a Font problem, because in Text modde all fonts is working (I use Arial and Currier New fot this PDF).
Can You help mi with that?
here is pictures with:
Text import:

and Curves import:

That's because this "Courier" font is not really "Courier", it's a similar font with different name (CourierNewPSNT), so the program couldn't recognize it. If you replace it with CourierNew or any other installed font, it will works fine.
how to force Corel to show this window? It dont show in my corel anymore when Im opening file.
Strange thing is that fonts in PDF works when I view them in Adobe PDF viewer, chrome etc. but not in corel curves

I use the standard settings, under Tools/options/Text/Fonts, for use Font Navigator catalog. That means you should open FontNavigator before open CorelDRAW, go to File/find fonts, search your entire hard disk for fonts (although is better to have all fonts in just one folder, I useparate fonts in sub-folder alphabetically orderer), in order to create a database of font. Then, next time you open a file on CorelDRAW it will use this database for find or replace fonts.
Anyways, if you don't have the font the program couldn't find it. But you can choose "save this exception for future matching" on the replace message and replace manually CourierNewPSNT with Courier (or any other font). Remember, CorelDRAW and FontNavigator will consider that CourierNewPSNT is not "courier" nor "CourierNew" until you choose it.

it's not strange, since the font is embedded on the PDF file, then it will show correctly while is a PDF. But when you import to CorelDRAW you convert the PDF to CDR file format. Some programs (such as Indesign or Quark XPress) allows to place a PDF as a package, but you can't modify anything of the content.

Just a note that QXP has the capability to convert PDFs and other graphic formats to native objects for a couple versions now.
