Challenge 1: A Logo Rendering Incorrectly on the Client's Machine — Solution Walkthrough

The answer:

The designer should have outlined the text — using Create Outlines in
Illustrator or Object to Path in Inkscape — before sending the finished
file. Per this chapter's own material, live text only displays
correctly if the font it references is actually installed on the
machine opening the file; the client's machine lacked that font, so
the design substituted a different font or displayed incorrectly.

Why outlining specifically solves this:

Outlining converts the live text into ordinary vector paths — anchor
points and curves, like any other shape in this course. Once
outlined, the shapes render identically on any machine, since there's
no longer any font file being referenced at all. The font-availability
problem disappears entirely because the text is no longer stored as
"characters referencing a font" — it's stored as plain paths.

Why this is the correct point in the process to have done this:

Per this chapter's own material, a finished logo is exactly the kind
of file meant to look identical everywhere it's used, on other
people's machines with no guarantee about which fonts they have
installed — precisely the situation outlining is meant to solve
before a file is sent anywhere outside the designer's own control.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
------------------------------
This exercise checks that incorrect rendering on another machine is
correctly traced back to a missing font dependency in live text, with
outlining identified as the fix that should have happened before
sending the file.
