After several days of jury duty and other distractions, I’ve been back to Winds of the North to finish the update. Unfortunately, the program I use doesn’t seem to be supported anymore, and there was one bug that was never fixed in the retail version: PDF exports don’t have the text preserved, it gets converted to curves. This means the text that gets converted can’t be selected or searched. This bug is due to the Mac Catalina update. More annoying, having a copy for Mac doesn’t mean I can download the PC version, I would have to buy a Windows copy to use it on PC. So, for now, the PDF’s text is bugged. Hyperlinks still work.
