Why use the font style settings of bold, italic, etc. in the software program?
Selecting a font style of bold, italic, underline or shadow from your application’s font palette will give you a nice result when viewing your project on a monitor and will probably look great when it comes out of your desktop printer. Unfortunately, those font styles will not print correctly on a high-resolution press. Most main stream fonts will include fonts specifically drawn to a bold or oblique style. For instance, the GillSans font family includes GillSans, GillSans Condensed, GillSans ExtraBold and GillSans Light. Using an italic or bold font rather than a font style will ensure the proper output on our devices.
