Fonts - Text in Vector Images
If you are submitting individual EPS or PDF files to take advantage of vector art for your manuscript, you will want to follow a few simple
guidelines to ensure any text in your figures stays accurate.
1. Outline fonts. The best method to ensure the highest accuracy of your text and math is to change all fonts into outlines/shapes.
Below is an example of an equation being changed into outlines.
2. Embed fonts. If you use a nonstandard, non-system or latex font, we cannot gaurantee matching the font. Embedding fonts can
help transfer the font subset.
3. Use standard fonts. If the first two methods are not available to you, we recommend the following postscript fonts that can be
available to every system and cover a variety of styles and glyphs: Courier, Helvetica *, Symbol, Times **, and ITC Zapf Dingbats.
*Arial can be substituted for Helvetica and **Times New Roman can be substituted for Times.
If none of these methods are available, you can still submit your artwork; however, we may not be able to accurately reproduce your
text. If files are not usable due to font problems we will change all vector art into raster images or create raster images
from your original submitted PDF.
