Fonts

remotefonts"onpage294.
Whenyouareusingafontthatisnotinstalledonyourmachine(forexample,theboldoritalicvariantof
aregularfont)WindowstriestosimulatethefontintheDesigner.Likewise,PrintShopMailConnect
triestosimulatethefontintheoutput.Itishowevernotguaranteedthattheoutputwillbeexactlyas
shownintheDesigner.Itisstronglyadvisedtomakesurethatallusedfontsareavailableandto
alwaystesttheoutputbeforerunningproductionjobs.
Note: Hostingnon-standardfontsontheoperatingsysteminaserverenvironment(asopposed
toimportingthemintothetemplate)isnotrecommended.
