Using Fonts
Your Name Goes Here prefers TYPE 1 (Postscript) fonts.
- Provide both screen and printer fonts.
- Avoid using Postscript TYPE 1 and Truetype fonts within the same document as this may cause unpredictable output.
- Do not use stylized fonts (i.e. styles such as bold-italic applied to a plain font) because applied styles are unpredictable. Please choose fonts with a native bold and/or italic version.
- When using Illustrator or Freehand EPS files, convert the text to "paths" or "outlines" to eliminate the font.
