Offending command: havefont

A PostScript error “undefined” offending command “havefont” can be caused by problems with fonts that have been used in an Illustrator file (according to Morten from Scandinavia who was kind enough to e-mail this).

Solutions

Create an outline of the font in Illustrator.

Morton thinks his problem was caused by saving an Illustrator 7/8 file as Illustrator 6. Maybe resaving in another version can also solve the problem.

Fred Gamber was kind enough to mail the following advice: My experience indicates that a corrupt font supplied by a customer is to blame in about 3/4 of the cases we run into. If you replace the screen and printer fonts with versions you know to work, the problem usually goes away. This can be a faster method than trying to isolate an Illustrator file in a job with large amounts of those files included.
