When you are sending an Illustrator file to the printers it is usually best to convert
the fonts to outlines. This means that even if the person you are sending the file
does not have the fonts you have used installed they will still be able to print it.
When you convert fonts to outlines, the program will look at the fonts as images rather
than text thus fixing any upload errors that result when fonts are not embedded in
your file.
