Using Illustrator CC with Other Adobe Applications
.
” Illustrator CC
will not package Typekit desktop fonts, but will continue to package convention-
ally licensed fonts, except Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts, which have never
been packaged by Illustrator. Recipients who are Creative Cloud members or
Typekit subscribers can easily obtain the fonts through their online service.
If you have backsaved for a recipient who is using an older version of Illustrator,
they can join Creative Cloud, get a Typekit subscription, or purchase the fonts dir-
ectly from a font foundry. You can convert text to outlines, but it will become
vector shapes and no longer be editable text. Since Typekit desktop fonts can be
embedded in PDFs, this is the preferred format for print file submission.
