# Font display issues in the PDF Viewer

Sometimes, fonts can appear to be distorted or rendered incorrectly in the PDF viewer. If everything is correct in the code, the font should still appear correctly in the downloaded PDF file.

To resolve the problem of fonts not displaying correctly, please try the following:

1. Ensure that your browser zoom is set to 100% or "actual size."
2. Use the Overleaf PDF viewer's zoom controls to adjust the zoom on the displayed PDF as described [here](https://docs.overleaf.com/navigating-in-the-editor/working-with-the-pdf-viewer/pdf-viewer-options-and-navigation).

If the issue persists, please try changing the PDF viewer from Overleaf to Browser using the instructions found [here](https://docs.overleaf.com/navigating-in-the-editor/working-with-the-pdf-viewer/pdf-viewer-options-and-navigation).

If the font is not displaying properly in the downloaded PDF file, there may be a problem with your LaTeX code. To learn more about how to change typeface in LaTeX, check out our [documentation](https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Font_typefaces). The first step in resolving display problems is to [fix all compile errors reported in your project](https://docs.overleaf.com/troubleshooting-and-support/fixing-latex-errors).

For persistent PDF display issues, please follow the troubleshooting recommendations: [Resolving PDF rendering and project loading problems](/troubleshooting-and-support/resolving-pdf-rendering-and-project-loading-problems.md).
