About printing fonts
To ensure that the text on your pages displays and prints correctly, it's important to choose the correct type of font, PostScript or TrueType, for your output and to use that type of font exclusively for production work.
Generally, use PostScript fonts for output to PostScript printers or for exporting a document as an EPS file, and use TrueType fonts for output to desktop or non-PostScript printers. If you are working with a prepress service provider or service bureau, ask for a recommendation on font formats before beginning your FreeHand artwork.
Use a type manager to improve onscreen text display and font management. Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is the only type-management utility that supports all of the text effects available in FreeHand. ATM requires PostScript (Type 1) fonts, but does not require output to a PostScript printer.
If you open or import a document that contains fonts not installed on your system, you will be prompted to replace missing fonts. For more information on replacing missing fonts, see Replacing missing fonts.
