omgwtf! Distiller Font errors!

[tallmikeG]

OK guys...need some quick help here. i'm sure this is a common error, just something i've never come across. when printing a pdf through Quark (and directly through distiller), i'm getting a log file reading:

[b]
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: findfont ]%%
Stack:
/Font
/Courier
/courier

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
</BLOCKQUOTE>

help a brotha out! is it a corrupt font? distiller using a screwy font path? bad print driver? stars misaligned?

I've had this before, it's a quark thing. sometimes a reboot will solve it. Or as a last resort cut and past everything into a new doc and try it again. Hope this helps.

thanks, Kool! i've decided to 'just let it go' until i get back to work on Tuesday. maybe the problem will magically disappear. :) there's some .eps images in the file that may have not been converted to outlines too. we'll see.

...have a good mem. day weekend!

Oops - sorry 'bout that. But as you could tell - I run into that alla time. There's never a really straight forward answer for me - i usually get around it by trying a combination of trying it on other computers or printing the file to a postscript file (level1) and distilling that or using a pdf printer or whatever - no help here I bet. You're on a mac aren't you?

thanks Key! i'm actually on a windoze machine at work, but i believe the original artwork was created on a mac. hmmm...i'll try printing it to a PS file first and see if that works. good lookin' out!
