  • how do you embed fonts in Illustrator?

    #1
    so the client on the other side sees the same fonts you do.

    first make a copy of your file.

    Select all your text.
    goto Text>Create Outlines.

    Just remember your text is now shapes, not edittable (that's why you kept a copy of the original).

    Solves a lot of printing difficulties too.

      Hmmm..actually, the client wants me to send the fonts...so they can edit it on the other side...
      is this possible?

        yes, in that case make a new folder on your desktop, and copy paste your selected font folder into it, stuff it or zip it up, and send him a outlined version like printdriver said, and a non-outlined version, and your fonts folder......your client then puts that font into his fonts folder and booo ya, your all on the same page. hope that was clear enough. oh yeah, and if your going from Mac to PC, or vise versa its not going to work, as mac and PC fonts are different.

              Actually D, I think windows XP and mac OS X both use True Type fonts now.

                Yes OSX can use some PC fonts. No guarantees. Watch em close. Special punctuation and keycaps may go screwy.

                  there technically isn't a way to embed fontsin illustrator, it's not a publishing program. just what the others have said, convert your text to outlines or include a font folder on the disk. make sure you label the disk properly with format.

                  i wouldn't recommend using fonts across platforms though. especially for printing. too many issues can come up.

                    I imagine there's all sorts of fan art out there in this style for inspiration. You already have the banner templates, so just find an interesting way of using them. It doesn't have to be overly complicated...

                    Good points, although I'm unsure how to correct this without starting it all over from scratch and scrapping the whole idea. I'll have to think about it.

                    Yes, I got the general idea from my copy of Gulliver's Travels.

                    I had hoped that I could convey the seasons with the colors and leaves, with the greens representing Summer and Spring and...

                    If using precut paper, no bleed or trim.

                    Unfortunately I don't have access to any other programs, gah. Question about crop marks...are they necessary? This may sound like a silly question, but for the invitations, the design itself is very simple...
