How to Embed Fonts Into Your Word

Document

TshirtsCanada.com

Frequently we receive requests for a t-shirt quote

along with an attached file and the image and text is created

in Microsoft Word.

This can be an issue if your custom tshirt design contains particular fonts and they are important to your design and

the fonts are not embedded in your file.

For example, let’s say that you used the font Thickhead.

Now if I don’t haveThickhead on my computer

the font will instead display as Thickhead or Thickhead, defaulting to a common font

on my computer.

There are thousands of available fonts and I have more than 10,000 on my

computer. (they aren’t all active)

Now since I wouldn’t have any reference point as to how your document should look, I wouldn’t know whether the

image you sent me looks the same on my computer

as it does on yours.

This is why we always send a proof for your confirmation -

just to be sure.

However there is a very easy solution.

You embed the font into your Word document so the font information is contained in

your file.

This is actually quite easy to do.

You would do this while you are working in Word.
