I know a few of you hear me on this

Working between two computers has it’s dope and not-dope attributes. One dope thing is that I don’t have to worry about carrying my damn computer around with me. One not dope thing is that they don’t necessarily have the same fonts installed.

In my magazine design class, a full size folding dummie was due and was to be presented. “here’s what I’m doing, and this is how it fits into the demographic and balbhablha…” So when I show up to class to print mine off on the day it’s due (like a normal person) you can imagine the look on my face when that little window popped up saying, “oh hey, man. all your shit’s missing and everything looks different. peace.” luckily it’s only supposed to be a draft and luckily it’s only for a class. To tell the truth a felt somewhat dumb due to already knowing a way around this from happening.

In Adobe Indesign there’s a function called package, which takes all your shit (indes file, used fonts, links, and probably some fourth thing I’ll never see) and throws it into a nice neat folder. That way anywhere your file goes, the fonts go with it.
