To print your publication, your printing service must have the same fonts installed on their computer that you used in your publication. Microsoft Publisher makes it easy for you to include the correct fonts in any publication you plan to send to a commercial printer: simply use the Pack and Go Wizard, and the wizard will embed all the fonts you used in your publication so that the printer can reproduce them accurately. However, as you design your publication, note the following suggestions:
Use
TrueType fonts installed with Publisher unless your printing
service says otherwise
Although you can use either TrueType or PostScript fonts in your publication, it's best to use only TrueType fonts for two reasons:
Avoid applying special formatting to
plain text; instead, use a font that's already
formatted
For example, if you're using Arial for the body text of your publication but you need some larger, bold-face headings, use a font such as Arial Black for the headings. Doing so will ensure that your headings look crisp and accurate, without jagged edges.
Avoid copying and pasting text from other programs or from the Web
You might be pasting a font that's not licensed for embedding; just as important, the font may not be installed with Publisher and you might not have access to the installation software.
A good way to work with text that you take from another program is to first copy it into a plain text program such as Microsoft NotePad (Start menu, Programs, Accessories). You can then copy the plain text into Publisher and convert it to the font you want.
