Guys and gals,
Normally I work in Corel. Recently I've had quite a few people send PS files to me which is fine. I can usually get done what I need. However, just about every file I open has a warning message about the font is missing. In AI or Corel, I can tell the customers to convert the fonts to curves or outlines. What does the customer need to do to the fonts in PS before sending it over to me to make sure we are seeing the same thing. Even though the file opens, I'm afraid one of these days, the end file will not look like what the customer wants. I want to be able to provide some direction.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

In Photoshop they have to rasterize the font.

The fonts should be OK unless you tell it to update the layers with fonts (I believe that is the warning message).
If you want to revise some text, that would be a problem.

I get those all the time. Like DK said, the type is represented, just not editable. If the file is at the proper resolution, just let PS rasterize it... if you need to edit or upsize, yep, you'll need the font, but otherwise you should be good.
It's always a good idea to send a JPEG of what it looks like on your end, just to confirm the design is coming across like they want it, all the proper layers are turned on, etc.

I concur with DK and Z. I got yer back buddies.

also agreed, you either need the font on your system, or the customer has to rasterize it for you and resend. It's probably easier than asking them to send you the font...

I got the font sending over down to a science now for may customers, I think we all get that from our customers crazy fonts. I just have them copy paste fonts and send over, got a folder on the desktop just for them.
