I oulined the font in illustrator then exported the file as a jpg. The oulined fonts are not showing up in mu jpg file.

When I save the file as a PDF and i send the file out to press, the fonts are veiwable in the pdf but when my printer prints the file the fonts are not viewable. The font am using is Myriad Pro.

Select all invisible text, convert it into a stroke, then change the stroke to a fill. Afterward, export the design and verify the result.

Further to Monika's response, Illustrator should have warned you that you had White set as Overprint. Even so, you can check this in Separation Preview in Illustrator, or in Acrobat, check your Output Preview, (toggle "Simulate Overprinting").

Thanks Brad but its not the overprint in PDF.  Am exporting the .ai file as a jpg and it not veiwable as a jpg.

I think it might be a font issue.

That looks like it might be set to overprint.

In the attribues panel it can be changed back. Always check the overprint preview !!!

Did you check if overprint is on?

An outlined font is no longer a font.
