Too many fonts, too much trouble. . .

  • Fonts are a complicated issue because of the large number of brands, formats, styles, weights and families.  We probably have the font(s) you are using, but play it safe and include a copy of them with your master file, and include both screen and printer files for PostScript (Type 1) fonts.

  • Beware of the font Style Menu.

  • Avoid “stylizing” fonts in a page layout program:  i.e. use Garamond Bold Italic instead of Garamond regular with bold and italic styles applied.  It can create a weight or style on-screen that may not exist in your font collection.  These “type effects” may not print.

  • Please avoid using any TrueType fonts.

  • TrueType fonts are very unpredictable. We will not guarantee output of any file containing TrueType fonts.

  • Font questions:
