Setting Up Your Document
How can I ensure that my fonts will print properly?
When working with text, it is important to remember that not all computers will have the font you are using installed. To avoid font substitution errors, you can do two things:
- Convert your font to outlines
This can be when using any Adobe application (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop Elements.) Select all text in your document, go to the Type menu at the top of your screen, and select "Create Outlines." This will convert all text in your document to an image and prevent the font from changing when opened on a machine which does not have the font installed. However, once type has been converted to outlines, the text is no longer editable.
- Include your font with your file submission
If working in a program that does not allow you to create outlines, you can include the font file with your submission. This allows us to install the font on our end and keeps the text editable.
- Finding a font on your PC
Right click on your start menu and select "Explore." Then open the Local Drive (C) folder. Select the "Windows" folder, and then "Fonts."
- Finding a font on your MAC
Open the Finder and select the Hard Drive folder. Select the "Library" folder, and then "Fonts."
