Not every computer, browser or printer is set up with every font; it is important to verify that the selected font displays properly.
Below are examples of an incorrect font display:
PC and Macintosh computers come equipped with many different fonts that can easily be manipulated on your screen. For some fonts to display properly, the original software CD may need to be re-installed and “Language Packages” activated. Even after the language packages are installed, some language character sets will still require that additional fonts be installed.
ABC languages like, Spanish, French, German etc, will always be delivered in MS Word, Asian languages like Korean, Japanese and Mandarin will also be delivered in MS Word and, if requested, in PDF. Other languages with unusual fonts can be delivered in PDF format or as a graphic image files so that you have an easy cross-reference to assure that your document displays the fonts properly.
For scalable screen text, EPS, PSD or Illustrator files are recommended. Additionally, font samples can be sent to you for selection, giving you options on artistic style.
CARRIAGE RETURNS ON FOREIGN FONTS:
Do not attempt to split foreign text! Languages have strict rules where a carriage return can go. Without knowing the language, you will not be able to separate languages like Thai, Japanese etc.
