A law firm in Chicago distributed a 300-page contract PDF using a commercial font “Articulate Display” (exclusive license). The recipient’s system lacked the font. Substitution occurred with Calibri, shifting line breaks and altering a key date clause. The error was caught only after signatures were exchanged. Cost: $47,000 in reprinting and legal amendments.
