Question Converting font to art in Illustrator 9.0
I have a logo that I need to give to someone else so they can alter it but they don't have a font that is used in the original .ai file.

I know it's possible, but I'm just not sure how, to convert the text in the logo to art so that it won't matter if they have the font or not.

Thanks,

Brian

I dunno how to do what you're asking, but have you done a search for the font in question? Most fonts can be downloaded for free.

If you have your selection tool selected (press "v" on the keyboard) selcect all by using either the edit menu or "ctrl/cmd+a", or just click on the block of text you want to convert, then goto the type menu and select "Create outlines" (ctrl/cmd+o).

This changes all the text to vector art.
