Notes and Dimensions turn to blobs when exporting to PDF

Ever since i switched to WF5 i've had this problem. When I try to save a drawing as a PDF file, using "stroke all fonts" configuration option, all the text on the drawing turns into black blob. Notes, dimensions, revisions, even title block. If i uncheck "stroke all fonts" it's all fine, but then text moves around slightly, so I can't really use that in drawings for the shop-floor. Also we want to use a certain type of font in our drawings, and unless "stroke all fonts is checked" text that i used in the drawing is replaced by default font. Can anybody help me? I'm using Wildfire 5.0 32-bit M020 on Dell Precision 5400 workstation.

Issue was with Pro-E, version update to M040 solved the problem.
