Problem with spacing between words after exporting document from Lucid

Question

Hi,

I am reporting a significant discrepancy between the editor view in Lucid and the final exported document. While everything looks perfectly aligned within the app, the text formatting breaks down after generation.

Problem Description: In the Lucid editor (Screenshot 1), all text elements, spacing, and Polish characters are displayed correctly. However, after using the publication tool (Share > Publish > Single page > PNG > 300 DPI), the resulting file (Screenshot 2) contains several rendering artifact:

Character Overlapping: Letters are crashing into each other, making words difficult to read (e.g., in "dziąseł", "nadwrażliwości").
Erratic Kerning: The spacing between individual characters is inconsistent and uneven across various text boxes.

Crucially, this issue persists regardless of the method used:

It occurs when exporting the document directly via the Lucid website.
It also occurs when using the API to generate the export.

I have attached two screenshots: one showing the correct layout in the editor and another highlighting the rendering errors in the published file.

Regards,

Hi ​@Przemek Ferkaluk,Thanks for posting in the Lucid Community!Just to make sure that we are on the same page, please review our Export or print a Lucid document article from the Lucidchart Help Center. Let me know if you have any questions about how downloading/exporting your document should work.Once you have reviewed this article, here are some specific things to check when exporting your document:Try the export in a Chrome Incognito browsing session.

Please try the export again on another network, ensuring that you are on a strong, stable connection.Is the page that you are trying to export a Master Page? If so, it will be omitted from the downloaded version of your document and you will need to convert it into a page before exporting. To do this, left-click on your Master Page tab and select "Convert to Page".Could you share a temporary Document Support PIN for this document? This will help me take a closer look at what’s going on. This PIN is safe to post in this thread because it is only accessible by members of the Lucid support staff.
