Fonts
Fonts should not be stylized in your page layout program. Example: Do not stylize fonts by using the [bold] [italic] or other font style commands. Use the font containing the desired attribute. In the event the desired font is not available, a different font should be chosen. All fonts used must be supplied in a separate folder labeled "Fonts." All fonts used in EPS file must be converted to outlines.
