1. Fonts must be included with all files submitted.
2. Fonts must be of the same platform (Mac or pc) as the file submitted.
3. Fonts may also exist in embedded eps files, see that these are included also.
4. Some fonts have copyright restrictions and will not embed in Postscript or Acrobat Files. If so, convert type to outlines in Illustrator, (or to paths in freehand, or to curves in Corel) (or render type layer in Photoshop*) to get around this problem.
* We do not recommend rendering thin or small type in Photoshop.

File: A collection of data or information that has a name, called the filename. Almost all information stored in a computer must be in a file. There are many different types of files: data files, graphic files, text files , program files, directory files, ,font files, and so on. Different types of files store different types of information. For example, program files store programs, whereas text files store text.
