I never send a font to seps, whether film or CTS. Always convert them. I have had fonts be misinterpreted upon output, sucks when it happens and you only notice after screens are set up.

Let me explain this a little better lol, I was using the font in some art I was sepping out and yes I did try and outline it and it still did the same thing. Inkman your so right glad I caught it on film before I when to burn screens.

this - plus one step further, I save a random word in the font(s) I am using in the design before converting to curves. I can't tell you how many times I opened a file needing to change something I didn't save the dang font...rookie mistake

some fonts off DaFont are jacked - all the distressed fonts, no good...nodes for days

For me all my art I have a composite on the first page, that one always has the fonts etc. The rest of my pages are the seps, yes I still do them manually by hand. I just cannpt every trust software to do it right all the time.
