Creating text outlines
Converting text to outlines means converting text into
vector
shapes 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 outlin-
ing 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.
Next, you will convert the main heading to outlines and position content.
