All fonts used in the publication must be submitted as vector graphics (converted to curves). To make up the large scope of the text, the fonts are be attached to the publication file. Avoid using fonts less than 6 pt with the reverse print on plates consisting of several colors. Bring only the fonts that you have used in the preparation of your publication.
