Many thanks for the tip Helder.
It works well (excepted for the PDF problem which is lilely to be unrelated, and maybe long lasting. I did not notice it before, because I am not often exporting to PDF).
I guess that the bad export is related to the way in which IDL and Windows manage the true type fonts.
What I can say is that everything was ok with Windows 10 up to the version 1703.
The problem appeared after update to the version 1709 (the new last one, maybe buggy ?).
Cheers,
alx.
