Proofreading pharmaceutical copy presents its own special challenges, such as the use of nonstandard fonts, special characters, and symbols. Fowler says, “You may not think a decimal point would matter, but if you miss one you may also have given the patient 10 times the recommended dosage.” Most of NOSCO’s work arrives ready to go in the form of the native file with fonts. “While we sometimes will do submissions, usually we just preflight, prep, and tweak the customer file,” he notes.
