Reply To: Truetype fonts and newspaper printing

Your printer is probably just being “old fashioned.” That's a polite way of saying, he or she hasn't updated their brain since the 20th century. TrueType fonts are almost always fine, unless their RIP is from the mid 90s or something (in which case, you probably want a different printer anyway).

Of course, another option is to flatten the file while outlining the type as written about in this post.
