Topic: Re: distiller 3 help me!!! (Via Email)

Quark uses Helvetica as its default font, so all ps files going to
Distiller where Helvetica isn't explicitly used in the document will
generate this error unless you tell Distiller where it should find
Helvetica. Distiller 3 is SO old now, that I can't remember how to do
this in Distiller - actually I'm surprised it works in Classic!
Best bet is to use a character - any character, any size - in the
QuarkXpress document that uses Helvetica. It will then be embedded into
the postscript and Distiller will use the one there.
