Creating text outlines
Converting text to outlines means converting text into
vector outlines
that you can edit and
manipulate as you would any other graphic object. Text outlines are useful for changing the
look of large display type, but they are rarely useful for body text or other type at small sizes.
The file recipient doesn't need to have your fonts installed to open and view the file
correctly.
When you create outlines from text, you should consider that text as no longer editable. Also,
bitmap fonts and outline-protected fonts cannot be converted to outlines, and outlining text
that is less than 10 points in size is not recommended. When type is converted to outlines, the
type loses its
hints
—instructions built into outline fonts to adjust their shape to display or
print optimally at many sizes. You must also convert all type in a selection to outlines; you
cannot convert a single letter within a type object.
