What are the advantages and disadvantages of converting text to outlines? - ANSWER-Converting type to outlines eliminates the need to send the fonts along with the file when sharing with others.

It is best to save a layer with the original text or use the Outline Object effect. 2) Bitmap fonts and outline-protected fonts cannot be converted to outlines. 3) Outlining text that is less than 10 points in size is not recommended. 4) You must convert all type in a selection to outlines; you cannot convert a single letter within a string of type. To convert a single letter into an outline, create a separate type area containing only that letter.
