Like other PDF importers (e.g., ArtWorks 2.8) Xtreme ignores embedded 
fonts, so in the general case the file imported with editable text 
does not look like in the PDF file, unless you have the same font 
installed. It would help to know what exactly is wrong. Do you mean 
the font does not look like in RISC OS? Or do you see incorrect 
characters? Actually, even the latter would not be too surprising 
considering the way ArtWorks export text in Type3 fonts. Text exported 
to PDF from ArtWorks is not very friendly regarding importing it 
somewhere else - I only discovered that when writing the PDF importer. 
So, that might be improved in the future. Until then you will have 
better success using a RISC OS font in ArtWorks that either has a 
Type1 definition (e.g., EFF "Publisher" fonts) or the standard 
PostScript fonts (Trinity, Homerton, Corpus).
