    Hi there,

     

    We make no edits or changes to files - ever - be it images, text, size, fonts, anything at all. The exact data that was uploaded to our server will appear online and will sync down to any other connected devices. As a result, Dropbox wouldn't be the cause of what you are seeing.

     

    When fonts change:

     - the machine viewing or previewing the document must have that font installed, should the OS not have that font installed then it may default to another one.

Dropbox doesnt change files.

However, what it may do is show a preview of the file with as close a font as it can. If they download it they will see the actual file as long as they also have the font on there machine
