    It's part of my life!

    I did a couple of program logos here at work in the last couple of weeks. In each case, I provided a PDF of the vector art to marketing, who sent it out to have mugs made. Got the mugs this week.

    In each case, I forgot to change one of the fonts to vector before I PDFed the art, so the vendor's process defaulted my intended Humanist 777 Bold to good ol' Arial normal. Doesn't look nearly as good, but the bigwigs didn't notice.

    So much for the PDF embedding fonts, eh?

    So "wrong font" ain't something I say casually, folks, it's my freakin job! :P
