Fonts can be uploaded in sets that can contain one of each of the following: Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic.

Test Fonts
Before using your fonts in production it's your responsibility to test them properly. PrintNow can't guarantee that all fonts will work properly as there are many factors that go into font making and the rules are different for online use. We recommend testing each font by making a template with a grid background and comparing the Print Editor view to the print-ready PDF. Check to make sure there are no positioning issues using the grid as a reference point. Fontlab.com as tools for both making and troubleshooting fonts if you want the best tools available to get the most out of your font management.
Deleting a font
It’s important to note that deleting a font only removes that font from the lists in PrintNow. if you have products, projects or orders using that particular font they will be used unless they are resaved with a different default font.
