The typefaces in the Illustrator files need to be converted to outlines (Ctrl+Shift+O). This way, the person who opens the file doesn’t need the font to view or print the artwork properly.
The typeface that is the problem is “KristenITC-Regular”

My memory isn’t quite certain anymore. I think it was Stephen Jay Gould in a book called _Dinosaur Hunters_ who told the tale of a palentologist who has worked out ,to his own satisfaction, the epochs of evolutionary history — to a point where he refused to look at conflicting sample data taken from other digs. Gould — if it was Gould — presented this as a good thing … But it was also Gould, I’m pretty sure, telling a tale with the opposite moral in _Wonderful Life_ about a collection of specimins that had been mistakenly forced into taxonomies that didn’t fit — then the data went unlooked at for most of a century.
I wonder if the late DR Gould would in this situation want to examine, or ignore, the data?
