Hi, My Co-worker is trying to create outlines of a map file to send to print. the font sizes are very small so when creating to outlines, the fonts and lines in the maps appear to be way to bold to read when printed. How do we create outlines and still have it come out crisp, clean and legible? thanks, Nora Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor William F.

How do we create outlines and still have it come out crisp, clean and legible? Output them at sufficiently high resolution that there's no need for hinting which is depended upon to regularize and grid-fit the outlines. Unfortunately, w/ the pretty-much-demise of film-based proofs it's hard to get a proof which is at precisely the same dpi as the output plates will be. Ask the printer to check things on a soft proofing system on-screen which renders at the same dpi as the platemaker --- for a Prinergy RIP this would be called a ``VPS'', other systems have similar capabilities. One has to wonder why you're converting to outlines though --- why not just embed the fonts? That way if the hinting is helpful it'll be available and will be used.
