Fonts are collections of lettering styles that can be installed on your computer, enabling their use across various files and artworks. However, complications may arise when opening these files on different computers, especially if the fonts are not installed on the new machine. This can lead to text display and editing issues due to a lack of necessary font information.
To preemptively address these concerns, it’s crucial to convert the fonts in your artwork to curves. This tutorial guides you through the process.
