Converting fonts to curves is the first thing to do if you are going to send your mockup to a print shop. Or you want to transfer it to another computer, where there may not be a set of fonts similar to yours. Otherwise, when you open the file, the selected fonts will be automatically replaced with others, and this is unlikely to decorate the layout. By the way, reinstalling the system on your computer will create the same problem, at least until you install a font package similar to the previous one. In different graphic editors, the methods of converting fonts to curves differ from each other. Let's consider the most common ones.
Necessary
- - Computer;
- - graphics editor;
- - graphic layout using text.
Instructions
Step 1
Abobe Photoshop: In bitmap graphics editors, an operation similar to converting fonts into curves in a vector is called "rasterization". Open the layers palette if it is not in the workspace. You can do this through the Windows menu or by pressing the F7 key. Find the text layers in the palette - they are marked with an icon in the form of the letter T. If there are several of them, select them all by clicking the left mouse button while holding down the Shift key. Abobe Illustrator: If you have a large number of text objects in your layout, the following will help you quickly find them all menu item: "Select - Object - Text objects". You will see that all text elements in the file are highlighted. If there is only one text object, just select it with the "Selection" tool. In CorelDraw: To select all text objects at the same time, use the "Edit - Select All - Text" menu.
Step 2
In Abobe Photoshop: Use the Layer menu and its sub-items Rasterize - Type. In Abobe Illustrator: Open the Type menu and choose Create Outlines. Or just press Shift + Ctrl + O. In CorelDraw: Find Convert to curves in the Arrange menu. Or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Q.
