== Known Issues

PDF output shows all text as ####:: On Linux platforms you can face with this issue. For the getting around for the issue you need to install Microsoft Core Fonts to your platform. How to install <> Mac QWERTY Keyboard Bug:: There is a bug in JavaFX which makes all keyboards on a Mac behave as "QWERTY". This means, that on a German "QWERTZ" layout the shortcuts for undo and redo are swapped. Text Artifacts (Rainbowing) on Text:: If you are being distracted by rainbow text artifacts on text, you can work around the issue by passing some VM options in [Install_Dir]/AsciidocFX.vmoptions, as shared in https://github.com/TomasMikula/RichTextFX/issues/145[this RichTextFX bug].

. Open AsciidocFX.vmoptions. . Add -Dprism.text=t2k and -Dprism.lcdtext=false to the file. . Save and close. . Launch AsciidocFX
