So here is the results of my attempt at text to pathing...

I ungrouped all texts and did a text to path action on each selected text.

Afterwards I could not edit the texts anymore. I suppose this is normal as it was no text any longer but shapes.

I also had three texts changing colors when doing the text to path, I don't know why. These were new colors. But I can't have them in my design.

Prior to doing this text to pathing, I had saved my file under another name.

The file size of the two files stayed the same and the text to pathing did not reduce the file size.

Same for the pdf version that stayed in its large identical size.

Sorry for being slow...

Thanks

Stephane

Just convert fonts to path and it should be fine!

Thanks for the tip!

I will try to use another font..

Which one do you recommend..? Arial..?

What to do with the two links you provided..?

Are they fonts I can embed in my svg file and pdf file..?

Thanks!

PDF has 14 Standard Type 1 Fonts which are always available and not loaded in the PDF file:

Times－Roman Helvetica Courier Symbol Times－Bold Helvetica－Bold Courier－Bold ZapfDingbats Times－Italic Helvetica-Oblique Courier－Oblique Times-BoldItalic Helvetica－BoldOblique Courier－BoldOblique

The one that is closes to Arial is Helvetica. It may or may not be available on your machine. And sorry, don't know where to download it.

See the PDF Reference Manual for more details: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html

When I was in college, my Karate instructor said, "The first hundred are easy." Since then, I discovered he'd lied. Life's too big to describe in hundreds.
