PDF Export / Text line weight

I've been experimenting with PDF export in BC10, and have found an issue.

When exporting SHX text, it seems that a very light line weight is used in the export.

For instance, if my CTB table (which is used in the export) has the color Cyan (#4) as 0.0050" thickness and I print some SHX text (not converted to geometry) that is single-line text (like romans.shx) then that comes out in the PDF as very thin -- almost can't see it.  If I draw a cyan-colored line right next to the text, then the line is the correct thickness.  But the lines used for the text are not correct.

If I check the option to convert SHX to geometry, then the line thickness for the text is correct.  But it loses searchability, and the PDF gets much larger -- 4.3MB vs. 850K.
