Background: Fonts are normally very important to maintaining the quality of a design. There are also thousands of fonts available already with many more being created every day. Answer: One computer can not read a font from a file correctly if the computer does not have that font installed. While Aztec has many thousands of fonts in our library it is still a real possibility that we may not have the font that is specified in your design. By creating outlines in adobe illustrator (most commonly used art program) your font is no longer a font, it is an image, and while it now cannot be modified without recreating it you ensure that the person you are submitting your design to sees exactly what it is you want them to see.
