Font Findings in a PDF
Font checks help identify missing resources and rendering risks. An embedded font is useful evidence, but it does not by itself prove correct glyphs, text extraction or appearance on the target device.

Read the finding
| Finding | What to review |
|---|---|
| Embedded font | Whether the used glyphs and mappings are present and usable |
| Embedded subset | Whether the subset covers the text actually used; a subset is not automatically defective |
| Unembedded font | Risk of substitution or missing glyphs on another machine |
| Unavailable check | Missing evidence; not a pass or proof that the font is absent |
PDF/X requires the necessary font resources to be embedded, but a filename, standard label or one successful font check is not complete PDF/X validation. Font file extensions alone do not establish PDF font correctness.
What to do
Open the PDF in preflight, read the font findings and inspect the affected text in Studio. Compare names, characters and line breaks with the approved design. Ask the provider about unsupported fonts or rendering differences.
When correction is needed, re-export from the design source with appropriate font embedding, subject to the font's licence. Preserve the original. Do not assume that converting all text to outlines or embedding an unrelated replacement is a safe universal fix.
NowToPrint does not automatically embed, replace or outline fonts. A font warning is a reason for review; it is not proof that every printer will fail. An unreadable or incomplete check stays unknown. See reading results.

Print Marks: Supported Types and Boundaries
Print marks describe cutting, folding, registration or process-control intent. Their presence in a preview does not prove that they were written to the output PDF or accepted by a finishing device.
Ink Coverage: Measurement and Limits
Total ink coverage (TAC/TIC) is the sum of the C, M, Y and K percentages at a location. For example, C=80%, M=60%, Y=40%, K=20% gives 200%. A maximum, a page average and estimated ink consumption describe different things; do not interchange them.
