Text as curves


Recommended Posts

When exporting a file to be printed commercially they are asking all text be converted to an outline so they can accurately print fonts they may not have.  The only option I see in Affinity is "text as curves". Are these two things equivalent: "Outline your text" and "Text as curves"? I contacted the printer but they were unfamiliar with Affinity commands and only supported Adobe products. I would prefer to keep my artwork in Affinity instead of transferring to an Adobe product first.

Yes. 

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
