I wonder if anyone has the answer to this. I have our corporate logos designed in Illustrator 8 within OS9 and our brochures designed in Quark 6 on OSX. The font used in the Illustrator Logo does not get embedded when converting to PDFs from Quark.

How do I either put the Logo font into the OSX file so it gets recongised or (preferably) how do I get the correct OSX font into the logo in Illustrator?

Thanks!

OSX is a dream come true, the Mac went off the the doctors to be upgraded and came back faster, sexier and less crashy.

Can't find an option to embed the fonts, although I am new to Acrobat Distiller, so it maybe in there somewhere.

Might have found a way round it... I'm converting our strapline to a curver in Illustrator so that it isn't classed as a font. We'll see how this works...!

Thanks Mrs Fish

Yes, paths etc. Fun & excitement. I actually located the font folder that Illustrator uses (tucked away in the bowels of the hard drive) and slotted it into the fonts file of Acrobat so all sorted now!

I've been on courses for Quark, OSX and Photoshop now... perhaps one for Illustrator beconds...
