[Bug]: PDF Output: Text using OTF fonts is converted into vector graphics, blowing up file size.

[carstenschwede]

Bug description

While exporting to PDF, text that uses OTF fonts is converted to vector graphics, which massively increases the file size.
Converting fonts to TTF instead prevents vectorization, the text is left as text and PDF file size becomes reasonable.

13.1.3

Node.js version

12.18.2

npm version

@carstenschwede , Do we have same issue on linux also ?
I am also facing the same issue - pdf generated by puppeteer is taking size 10x of html-pdf (phantomjs).
Any help would be appreciated.

Bump, still valid.

@carstenschwede , Please update here as its blocker for us as we are using puppeteer but size is too large and its blocker for us to proceed further.
Any help would be appreciated.

Likely duplicate of #7401.

Please provide a test URL and a test script! Generally, we would likely need to file this to crbug.com as the PDF generation is done completely in the browser.

Seems like this was reported already in #2440 back in 2018 which led to a Chrome bug report here (still unresolved): https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=838168
