how do i convert fonts in illustrator to curves/outlines so i can open it in corel without having the font.

the file opens up fine in illustrator, but when i try to open in corel it substitutes the font.

as you can tell i use corel 99% of the time. i only use illustrator to open files

i THINK YOU HIGHLIGHT THE TEXT/ RIGHT CLICK/ CREATE OUTLINES.

I Have ai 8 and dont use it much so I hope thats correct.

Yeah that is how I do it.

I use the "object>Expand..." function. Sometimes it has issues with adding weird strokes with really complicated fonts but if you mess around with the pathfinder its easy to fix. otherwise it works real well... the other that was mentioned works as well.

I also use this method when i need to 'flatten' a .PDF to send. Ctrl+A, then object>Expand... and no problems with compatibility.

Converting them to outlines, both Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw can accomplish this task. See the following procedure to convert a font into outlines using Adobe Illustrator. simply pull down the contextual menu (Right mouse click on the PC, and Control click on the Mac), and select “Convert to Outlines”.And we usually use this method and it is useful!
